Abstract

The article discusses a clinical case of chelitis caused by allergy to citral contained in Vaseline® lip balm with aloe vera. Under the case, a 30-year-old woman with a five-year history of chelitis is patch tested. She is then advised to change to plain Vaseline® and avoid use of perfume and nail polish. The patient's citral avoidance resulted in symptomatic improvement of her allergy.
