Sensitivity to benzophenone produces classic allergic contact dermatitis, as well as photocontact dermatitis. In individuals allergic to benzophenone, products containing benzophenone or benzophenone derivatives may cause redness, swelling, itching, and fluid-filled blisters. Symptoms may appear immediately or several days later (delayed contact and photocontact dermatitis). In severe cases, <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"440\">anaphylaxis<\/span> it can happen.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1336\">allergic reactions<\/span>, concerns have been raised about the relative ease with which benzophenone is absorbed into the skin and may promote the generation of potentially harmful substances <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"1687\">free radicals<\/span>. Additionally, recent reports that oxybenzone has hormonal effects in animal studies have discouraged some people from using sunscreen products. However, these findings are not based on human studies and cannot be a reliable indicator of what happens in people. Benzophenones, including oxybenzone, combined with other sunscreen agents still provide excellent sun protection. The long-term use of these agents in sunscreens is unknown and additional research is warranted.<\/p>\n<div id=\"square-placement-country-holder\" class=\"country-dependent advert\">\n<div class=\"box-placement square-placement\">\n<div class=\"advert__frame\">\n<div id=\"dermnet-dermnet-mobbox\">\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSoy-alergico-a-la-benzofenona\"><\/span>Am I allergic to benzophenone?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Benzophenone allergy is diagnosed by performing <span class=\"term\" data-term-id=\"224\">patch<\/span> tests with 5% of benzophenone in Vaseline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tratamiento-de-la-alergia-a-la-benzofenona\"><\/span>Treatment of allergy to benzophenone<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>People diagnosed with a benzophenone allergy should avoid exposure to products containing benzophenone.
