Allergic contact dermatitis caused by methylisothiazolinone in hair gel
Résumé
Methylisothiazolinone (MI; CAS no. 2682-20-4) has been used alone or in association with methylchloroisothiazolinone (MCI) in the mixture MCI/MI 3:1.The maximum concentration of MI in cosmetics, whether rinse-off or not, is 100 ppm in Europe and in the United States [1]. Over the past few years, allergic contact dermatitis caused by MI has reached an epidemic level in Europe [2]. We report a series of 4 patients with allergic contact dermatitis of the face and/or the scalp secondary to the use of hair gel containing MI. These cosmetics are often not considered as a cause of allergic reactions.
