  • Title: Photoallergic contact dermatitis from topical diclofenac in Solaraze gel.
    Author: Kowalzick L, Ziegler H.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 2006 Jun; 54(6):348-9. PubMed ID: 16787462.
    Abstract:
    Solaraze gel (Shire Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, Cologne, Germany) containing 3% diclofenac has been licensed in 2001 as a topical treatment for actinic keratoses. It is commonly used in dermatological practice. Undesirable effects are believed to be rare but include pruritus, paresthesia and application-site reactions (dry skin, rash, erythema, contact dermatitis and vesicobullous eruptions). Recently, a few cases of contact dermatitis due to three different allergens including diclofenac have been reported (1,2).
