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.
