    Area of Science:

    • Oral medicine
    • Contact dermatitis
    • Allergology

    Background:

    • Toothpaste ingredients can cause adverse oral reactions.
    • Contact sensitization is a common cause of persistent dermatitis.

    Observation:

    • A 74-year-old patient presented with cheilitis after using a new toothpaste.
    • Symptoms persisted for weeks even after discontinuing the toothpaste.
    • Patch testing confirmed contact sensitization to the toothpaste.

    Findings:

    • The primary allergen was identified as L-carvone, a terpene ketone.
    • L-carvone is a key component in mint and peppermint flavorings.
    • Recurrence of cheilitis was linked to consuming L-carvone-containing lozenges.

    Implications:

    • L-carvone should be considered a potential cause of cheilitis and stomatitis.
    • Clinicians should inquire about the use of flavored products like chewing gum and lozenges.
    • Awareness of L-carvone in common oral products is crucial for diagnosis and management.
