Summary : Hand eczema is a very frequent pathology in Dermatology. We report the case of a 65‐year‐old woman who developed a photoallergic eczema on her hands due to benzydamine present in her gynecological washing solution. It is probably an under‐diagnosed cause of hand dermatitis. It also draws attention to the importance of a good anamnesis in dermatology. |
