Abstract
Although allergic contact dermatitis to topical preparations of doxepin has been published1-6,10, systemic contact
dermatitis from oral doxepin is more of a theoretical consideration and is rarely reported2. We report a case of
a patient with contact allergy to doxepin hydrochloride 5% cream who developed a systemic contact dermatitis
to oral doxepin.
