Background

Aluminum is a tin-white, malleable, ductile metal, with somewhat bluish tint. It is used as pure metal or in alloys.
Contact sensitivity to aluminium is extremely rare. Sensitization occurs during continuous application of aluminium containing antiperspirants or by aluminium adjuvants in vaccines and pollen extracts. Two types of reaction pattern are known: persistent granuloma at the injection site and recurrent eczema.
