PURPOSE: To report two cases of aluminum contact dermatitis caused by different sources.
METHODS: Two patients were patch-tested for suspected contact sensitivities.
RESULTS: The results of patch testing revealed aluminum contact dermatitis reactions in both patients.
CONCLUSION: Aluminum contact dermatitis is a rare finding with many possible etiologies. One should consider aluminum sensitivity when all patch test sites are positive when using aluminum Finn Chambers.
