6 female patients with allergic contact dermatitis from textile dyes are described. Lesions were confined to areas in direct contact with the offending garment, mainly where friction and/or pressure occurred. Patch tests were positive to 2 or more disperse dyes. Thin‐layer chromatography was carried out on the dyes extracted from fabrics of 3 patients, for the identification of textile dyes.
