Latanoprost is a phenyl‐substituted analogue of prostaglandin F2α used to treat glaucoma (1). Recently, it has been shown to stimulate eyelash hypertrichosis and therefore it has been proposed as a possible treatment for alopecia (2). Despite the extensive use of the drug in ophthalmology, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) due to latanoprost has rarely been reported in glaucoma patients (3‐6). We report a case of ACD very probably due to latanoprost used for the treatment of alopecia areata in a woman.
