Although allergic reactions to cyanoacrylate adhesives are extremely rare, they should not be considered impossible. We report a young hairdresser who developed an occupational allergic‐contact dermatitis to 2 “instant glues” used to attach false hair. The eczematous eruption involved the fingers and face slightly but mainly the eyelids. Patch test reactions were strongly positive to ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives.
