BACKGROUND: The genital area has a high exposure to various allergens that are not always obvious. Out of shame @entity1 may not complain about symptoms in this area. Moreover, diagnosis and therapy are often not primarily conducted by a dermatologist and allergologist. Therefore, many cases of @entity56 in the genital area remain undetected. OBJECTIVES: Which type  I and type  IV @entity566 occur in the genital area? Which allergens are currently of importance? Which are the characteristics of @entity56 in the genital area? What are the symptoms and differential diagnoses? What to focus on when taking medical history and in clinical diagnostics? MATERIALS AND METHODS: The current medical literature regarding @entity56 in the genital area is discussed. RESULTS: In the genital area type  IV @entity566 such as contact @entity1909 exceed @entity566 in number. Contact @entity110 can occur due to seminal plasma @entity566 , latex @entity566 and a transfer of type  I allergens via semen. Contact allergens are found in sex products such as condoms, but also in topical products. @entity16880 has become a new and important contact allergen for the genital area in recent years. Also, fixed @entity203 occurs preferentially in the genital area. As a delayed type  IV @entity566 due to systemically administered drugs it has to be considered in the differential diagnosis. CONCLUSION: Presumably, there are a high number of unreported cases of @entity56 in the genital area. Interdisciplinary collaboration between gynecologists, urologists and dermatologist should be increased. The use of @entity16880 in rinse-off and leave-on products should be discussed.
