This case report details two women with female pattern hair loss who experienced severe scalp allergic contact dermatitis from minoxidil, one due to the active ingredient and the other due to the vehicle.

In this case report, the authors linked acute psoriasiform contact dermatitis of the forehead and scalp to a low-laser light cap, identifying DMDE in the fabric as a likely cause.

This case study observed that three girls with alopecia experienced complete hair regrowth after avoiding balsam of Peru and related fragrances, suggesting contact allergy played a role in their hair loss.

This review evaluates 21 studies on minoxidil-induced allergic contact dermatitis, finding that some patients with contact dermatitis symptoms like erythema and pruritus are sensitized to minoxidil or its vehicle components and should consider patch testing and alternative formulations for proper management.

This study analyzed patch test results to identify allergens causing scalp contact dermatitis, finding nickel, cobalt, and balsam of Peru among the most common in the patient population.
