| Summary: | During the COVID-19 pandemic, frequent handwashing and disinfection have exacerbated or caused skin diseases. This case report shows the simultaneous development of allergic contact dermatitis to Kathon CG (DuPoint, Wilmington, Delaware, USA), Euxyl K400, and fragrance mix I because of the frequent use of moist (baby) wipes during the pandemic outbreak. The sensitisation to multiple allergens was determined by patch testing, whereas the disease resolved after usage discontinuation of moist wipes. Notably, two COVID-19 pulmonary events anticipated the clinical sensitisation. This case demonstrates that changes in attitude and behaviour with concern to exposure intensity to moist wipes can induce a clinical response to many allergens.
