Allergic dermatitis is a condition associated with people with greater sensitivity to certain allergens in some products, materials, or substances. The etiologic agents of allergic dermatitis should be investigated by patch test. However, these tests are not available in public health services in Guatemala, and the poor population cannot afford them, limiting access to this test. This is where clinical judgment and analysis play a key role to make an appropriate diagnosis base on the clinical manifestations of the patient and his history of the disease. The following is the case of a 31-year-old patient with a clinical diagnosis of allergic contact dermatitis secondary to the use of rubber sandals.
