Contact dermatitis by sensitization to amine-type antioxidants.

Abstract
Numerous reports had been published implicating IPPD and other amine-type antioxidants as the causative agents in patients with allergic sensitization following the use of industrial and household products that have black rubber in their composition. The amine-type antioxidants, used to stabilize the polymer chains and to prevent rubber from cracking, are the agents more frequently implicated in this type of contact allergic dermatitis. Based on a case of a patient who had erythematous edematous and vesiculous processes in the periocular region that appeared a few hours after the use of a video camera with a black rubber eyepiece, we reviewed the clinical features, and the etiological agents of this infrequent form of contact dermatitis. This patient represents the first described case in the literature of allergic sensitivity after the use of a video camera eyepiece.
