SUMMARY

A 40-year-old teacher presented after her third episode of acute facial oedema within 4 months. Each episode occurred 1–2 days after visiting her mother’s house. Patch testing showed positive reactions to miconazole and econazole nitrate.

No further episodes were recorded after discontinuing the antifungal shampoo.
