[Dermatologic effects of two facial prosthesis materials in combination with glues].

Erythema is frequently observed in the region of contact between facial prostheses and the skin. In a large-scale study on the cutaneous tolerance of facial prosthesis materials, two prosthetic materials (glue and the solvent for the glue) were tested in the allergy test after Magnusson and Kligman (OECD). Only the solvent showed a moderately pronounced allergenic potential in the macroscopic assessment.
