After short time application of several creams containing antiseptic, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory ingredients she developed a severe contact dermatitis. Patch testing revealed sensitizations against corticosteroids, an antibiotic and quinoline.Conclusion: In our case multiple relevant contact sensitizations appeared within a short period of two months after excision of a malignant tumour.
