Abstract
gar in a case ofdermatitis. In 1921, McNair2 popularized the use of iron salts for the treatment ofRhus dermatitis. This was soon followed by reports of permanent pigmentation of theskin secondary to treatment with iron salts.3, 4 In 1951, HareS reported the first case of iron pigmentation from industrial exposure to a pickling fluid that contained iron salts in hydrochloric acid. In clinical practice, ferrous subsulfate (Mansel's solution) is often used as a hemostatic agent and it is not uncommon to have pigmentation at the treated site (so-called Mansel tattoo).6 We report a case of iron pigmentation localized to the earlobes that probably resulted from impregnation of iron from earrings. To our knowledge, this has not been previously reported.
