Abstract

Contact allergy to clindamycin is rare, especially in relation to its widespread use in topical formulation. Neverthless, when patients using topical clindamycin complain of itching, patch testing with this preparation and its separate ingredients should be considered. We report a case of allergic contact dermatitis due to clindamycin solution for acne vulgaris therapy in a 24-year-old woman.
