Contact Dermatitis and Allergies

A search of the literature has not revealed any reports of allergic eczematous contact dermatitis due to the topical application of vitamin E. A case of contact allergy to synthetically produced alpha-tocopherol is herein reported. It is felt that this is a rare event in view of the fact that this vitamin is widely used topically in this country and abroad.
