A case report is given of a 56-year-old female patient with a postthrombotic leg ulcer and stasis dermatitis, in whom contact dermatitis to a dexpanthenol-containing ointment was first described in 1965. Recent allergy testing confirmed this finding and revealed positive reactions to the pure substance dexpanthenol as well as to two additives. Based on this case history the importance of dexpanthenol as an allergen is discussed.
