Human cutaneous vulvar reactivity to irritants

Abstract

To better understand the cutaneous reactivity of vulvar skin, two chemical irritants were applied topically to 21 subjects. The forearm of each subject served as a comparative control. Test sites remained open and were read at 24 hours. A significantly increased response to the irritants was noted on the vulvar skin.
