There has been a new hard selling product in the Southeast Asian market - the so called ‘sex massage oil’. A variety of such preparations are available freely and are claimed to have sex-augmenting properties. Various effects are claimed upon usage, ranging from enlargement of the male organ to substantial increases in intercourse time. Also is claimed, that, these products being ‘herbal’ have no side effects. These attractively packaged oils are sold over the counter in large volumes to the unsuspecting public. We present here a case of a young man who suffered from chronic irritant dermatitis from usage of the same. We believe this to be the first case report where irritant dermatitis had resulted from usage of such ‘sex massage oils’.ÂReferences
