Some of the patients with melasma perhaps have pigmented cosmetic dermatitis. However, cosmetic contact sensitivity in melasma remains poorly studied particularly in the Indian context.<jats:italic>Objectives<\/jats:italic>. To study cosmetic contact sensitivity in patients with melasma.<jats:italic>Materials and Methods<\/jats:italic>. 67 (F\u2009:\u2009M = 55\u2009:\u200912) consecutive patients with melasma between 19 and 49 years of age were patch tested sequentially during January\u2013December, 2012, with Indian Cosmetic and Fragrance Series, Indian Sunscreen Series,<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-phenylenediamine, and patient\u2019s own cosmetic products.<jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>. 52 (78%) patients were in the age group of 20\u201340 years. The duration of melasma varied from 1 month to 20 years. Centrofacial, malar, and mandibular patterns were observed in 48 (72%), 18 (27%), and 1 (1%) patients, respectively. Indian Cosmetics and Fragrance Series elicited positive reactions in 29 (43.3%) patients. Cetrimide was the most common contact sensitizers eliciting positivity in 15 (52%) patients, followed by gallate mix in 9 (31%) patients and thiomersal in 7 (24%) patients. Only 2 of the 42 patients showed positive reaction from their own cosmetics while the other 5 patients had irritant reaction. Indian Sunscreen Series did not elicit any positive reaction.<jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>. Cosmetics contact sensitivity appears as an important cause of melasma not associated with pregnancy, lactation, or hormone therapy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/316219","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,14]],"date-time":"2014-07-14T17:04:00Z","timestamp":1405357440000},"page":"1-9","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Cosmetic Contact Sensitivity in Patients with Melasma: Results of a Pilot Study"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"given":"Neel","family":"Prabha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy, Dr. R.
