ABSTRACT

Introduction. Airborne dermatitis is a skin lesion caused by airborne irritative or allergic substances. It can be classified in various types: allergy, photo-urticaria, phototoxicity, contact urticaria, photosensitive lesions, purple skin disease, paresthesias, acne skin lesions, telangiectasia’s, among others. Overall prognosis is good as it subsides when contact with the causal agent is lost. Case report. 21-year-old male presented with a recurrent facial acneiform rash of one week of evolution. The patch test was positive in D4 for bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE), therefore BADGE airborne dermatitis was confirmed. Conclusion. This condition is directly connected with the occupation, therefore when a worker presents compatible lesions airborne contact dermatitis should be considered.
