Over the years, changes have had to be made in the list of topical drags most frequently responsible for allergic contact dermatitis. The 4 most common sensitizers in Italy in the past have been penicillin. Sulfonamide, promethazine and neomycin. Now the list is headed by neomycin, benzoeaine and ethylenediamine. Antihislumines and parabens are less frequently observed as sensilizers. The increasing topical use of new drujis and additives, as well as older sensitizers, produces reactions 10 other substances, such as non‐steroidal anti‐inflammatory agents, some antimycotic drugs, propylene glycol and benzoyl peroxide.
