Six Cases of Allergic Contact Cheilitis
Abstract
- The vermilion border of the lips has a modifed epithelium, which is much more likely to develop allergic contact sensitivity reactions than oral mucosa. Allergens in contact with both the oral mucosa and the lips oftens produce only cheilitis. Allergic contact cheilitis may result from topical medicaments, dentifrices, cosmetics, foods, plants or metals. We present six cases of allergic contact cheilitis confirmed by patch test. The toot4paste was incriminated in 2 cases, the lipstick in 3 cases and the bubble gum in one rase as producing chelitis respectively.
