Bufexamac is an anti-inflammatory agent used as topical treatment of various pruritic diseases. Since it was put on the market, this product has been blamed for the occurrence of contact dermatitis (eczema, urticaria) and, rarely, severe toxicodermia. We report a case of severe contact dermatitis developed after application of bufexamac (Parfenac) cream. Patch-tests performed two months after the acute phase were positive (+ + +) for both Parfenac cream and bufexamac.
