A patient developed an erythematous papular, vesicular rash after application of povidone‐iodine 10% solution used as a surgical antiseptic. Patch testing revealed positive responses to povidone iodine 10 and 5% in water: 25 controls were negative. Patch testing with iodine, 0.5% in ethanol gave negative results.
