Abstract

We describe the case of a 42‐years‐old non‐atopic man who developed a severe eczematous reaction in the genital area some hours after the use of a condom (Settebello‐Hatù® Durex) containing a retarding cream. Patch test revealed a strong allergic reaction to the retarding cream and to benzocaine and paraben mix contained in the cream itself. Condoms with retarding cream should be avoided in man sensitized to local anestethetics.
