Abstract
After 25 years of wearing a condom catheter, recurrent blisters and ep idermal sloughing of the penile shaft developed in a patient. Patch te sting revealed hypersensitivities to several allergenic components of the condom catheter (that is thiram and mercaptobenzothiazole). After immediate treatment with topically applied steroids, the condition imp roved and the patient successfully switched to a silicone condom witho ut further irritation.
