A 10‐year‐old boy reacted to aluminium Finn Chambers during routine patch testing. Further patch tests with aqueous aluminium chloride confirmed contact allergy to aluminium. The boy's 8‐year‐old brother also reacted to aluminium Finn Chambers. Both boys had suffered from a scaling eruption on their face and limbs since infancy.
