Allergic Contact Dermatitis of the Vulva
ACD is prevalent in patients with chronic vulvar complaints, underscoring the critical role of patch testing as a diagnostic tool. Both topically applied cosmetic and medicinal products, as well as systemically ingested substances, such as spices and herbs, may contribute to ACD affecting the vulvar region. To enhance diagnostic accuracy, patch test series should be tailored to the patient's clinical history and specific allergen exposures.
