Sensitivity to ethylenediamine and to epoxy resin hardeners was found in three patients with long standing contact dermatitis. In one patient, a young man, the sensitivity was elicited by occupational contact with epoxy resin hardeners and subsequently sustained by use of Mycolog cream. In two patients, both elderly women, the condition was only due to use of Mycolog cream. These case histories and test results indicate that use of Mycolog cream can result in occupational disease viz. contact dermatitis from epoxy hardeners.
