Zirconium granuloma
Zirconium granulomas are a skin condition characterized by a papular eruption involving the axillae, and are sometimes considered an allergic reaction to deodorant containing zirconium lactate.
Hypersensitivity reaction[edit | edit source]
They are the result of a delayed granulomatous hypersensitivity reaction, and can also occur from exposure to aluminum zirconium complexes.
Use of Zirconium products[edit | edit source]
- Zirconium containing products are used to relieve toxicodendron irritation and are part of antiperspirants.
Clinical features[edit | edit source]
- The lesions are similar to those from sarcoidosis, and commonly manifest four to six weeks after contact.
- These granulomas appear as erythematous, firm, raised, shiny papules.
Treatment[edit | edit source]
Corticosteroids are used to ease the inflammation, but curative treatment is currently unavailable.
