A case of recalcitrant face eczema

A 37 ‐year‐old woman with a history of mild atopic dermatitis involving her antecubital flexures and sporadically her face presented with face eczema of one year duration. Due to acne and solar brown spots, she had applied a retinoic acid containing cream for one year and she had slowly developed rec alcitrant face eczema that was unsuccessfully treated with different moisturizing creams, corticosteroid creams and sunscreens. As her face eczema further worsened the patient was referred for patch testing.
