The Foot & Ankle Journal
Original article: A case report describes an acute allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to Mastisol® following foot surgery. A patch test was used to determine whether the patient was allergic to the DuraPrep™ skin prep, Steri-Strips™ or Mastisol® skin adhesive. Reaction to all patch sites with Mastisol® was observed. The contact allergy resolved within 3 to 5 days after starting oral Benadryl®, Medrol® and topical saline compresses. Initial presentation, patch testing and treatments are presented.
