Abstract
Two women with vulvodynia are described. In one patient, severe chroni c vulvodynia developed secondary to contact dermatitis. Patch-testing confirmed the offending allergens. A second patient with vulvodynia wa s severely dermatographic. Evaluation of patients with vulvodynia shou ld include an appropriate medical history and diagnostic studies to ex clude contact dermatitis and dermatographism. Effective treatment for these disorders may lead to dramatic relief of symptoms.
