Allergic contact dermatitis caused by dipropylene glycol diacrylate in the Omnipod ® insulin pump

CONCLUSIONS: When suspecting ACD to MDs DPGDA at 0.1% in pet. should be tested. The content of Omnipod® has changed over time. Patch testing with updated test series and relevance assessment of positive reactions is a delicate task. Children, with lifelong use of MDs, risk contracting many allergies with potential cross-allergies. A question should be raised - whether these low molecular weight acrylates should at all be used in devices constantly worn on the skin.PMID:34510410 | DOI:10.1111/bjd.20751
