Contact dermatitis from natural latex of condom has been reported and is attributed to latex sensitivity. Chemical leukoderma from rubber condom is probably not reported. Here we present a case of chemical leukoderma in a 32-year-old male who developed depigmentation around the shaft of the penis in a circumferential pattern. Since the lesion was solitary and the site corresponded to the point ...

Leukoderma and hypopigmentation can be a manifestation of 2 main mechanisms by which melanin might disappear from the skin. One is a dysfunction of the melanocytes; the other is loss of the melanocytes themselves. Hypopigmentation disorders can be localized or generalized. They can be either congenital/hereditary or acquired. The pattern of involvement can be circumscribed, diffuse, linear, or ...
متن کاملBiochemical Mechanism of Rhododendrol-Induced Leukoderma
RS-4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanol (rhododendrol (RD))-a skin-whitening ingredient-was reported to induce leukoderma in some consumers. We have examined the biochemical basis of the RD-induced leukoderma by elucidating the metabolic fate of RD in the course of tyrosinase-catalyzed oxidation. We found that the oxidation of racemic RD by mushroom tyrosinase rapidly produces RD-quinone, which gives ...
متن کاملChemical leukoderma induced by dimethyl sulfate*
Chemical leukoderma occurs due to the toxic effect of a variety of chemical agents. Mechanisms include either destruction or inhibition of melanocytes. We report two male patients (36 and 51 years old) who presented with multiple hypopigmented macules and patches on the neck, wrist, and legs after exposure to dimethyl sulfate in a chemical industry. Physical examination revealed irregular depig...

This paper aims to explain these inconsistencies and to assess whether the number of sex acts and the number of condoms used can be estimated from survey data. This would be useful for program managers, as it wou...
