Abstract
Contact allergic sensitivity may follow the use of chlorocresol incorporated as a preservative into both betamethasone cream and aqueous cream, which are commonly prescribed as a mixture in South Australia. In several cases, although the clinical courses indicated sensitivity to chlorocresol, patch test reactions to this chemical were negative. In these cases positive patch test reactions to chloroxylenol, a chemical closely related to chlorocresol, confirmed the diagnoses.Entities:
