Abstract Vulvar pruritus is a frequent complaint. The cause is difficult to discern, and the condition is complicated by reactions to medicaments used. With persistent and intelligent questioning, the so-called essential pruritus may be attributed to an original sensitizing agent, be it douching solution, nail polish, or, as in this case, colored toilet tissue. REPORT OF A CASE A 25-year-old white woman complained of vulvar itching of four weeks' duration. The condition had become progressively worse, being aggravated by apparently the most innocuous topical remedies. Itching and burning were intense. On examination severe edema, oozing, and marked redness of the vulvar and pubic areas were observed. Initial questioning failed to reveal any suggestive causal factor. Routine medication was followed by some relief, but the condition failed to clear, although there were periods of improvement and recurrence. After two months, it was suggested that the use of toilet tissue be stopped http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png A.M.A. Archives of Dermatology & Syphilology American Medical Association
