Abstract :

Irritant contact dermatitis is a very common disorder seen secondary to common allergic substances like nickel, black rubber, parthenium, cosmetics, detergents and few drugs. Some patients may also represent fixed drug eruptions to antibiotics, iodine, penicillin and so on. Here, we present a case report of a patient who developed irritant contact dermatitis to topical application of diclofenac gel formulation containing 3% turpentine oil. Specificity for publishing this case is to highlight that a common presentation of skin lesions can mislead us to diagnose any of the possible differential diagnoses, which were listed in this article as overview, would be worth enough in learners‘ point of view.
