## Abstract **Background** Purpuric lesions have been described as an uncommon manifestation of allergic contact dermatitis in individual case reports. **Objective** We describe a series of patients who developed purpuric allergic contact dermatitis to textile dyes and resins in their personal clothing.

Biopsies from the purpuric lesions were performed in three patients. **Results** Thirty of the 103 patients (29.1%) had positive reaction to an allergen from the TCFS. Clinically purpuric ACD was observed in 8.7% of all the cases studied (__n__ = 9 of 103). Nine of the 30 patch‐positive patients to the TCFS (30%) demonstrated purpuric macules, papules and patches.
