Abstract
Skin reactions following the application of electrocardiography (ECG) electrodes have been reported in adults and children, and are postulated to result from contact with the conductive gel or adhesive used on the electrodes. Although contact dermatitis is the usual cause of such reactions, contact depigmentation or hypopigmentation may also occur. We report a case of hypopigmentation in a healthy boy following continuous electrocardiography monitoring during general anesthesia for dental rehabilitation.
