Abstract
2‐hydroxy‐5‐tert‐butyl benzylalcohol and 2,6‐bis(hydroxymethyl)‐4‐tert‐butylphenol were identified as contact allergens in a phenolic resin used as a tackifier in the ink of a marking pen, which, after being used directly on the skin, caused an acute contact dermatitis on the hand of a 13‐year‐old boy. The patient also reacted to 4‐tert‐butylphenol‐formaldehyde resin (BPF resin) 1% pet, included in the European standard series.
