I Am Suffering From A Contact Dermatitis Of The Lips (over 6 Mos.) Linked To Cinnamic Aldehyde. Help!!!!?
Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Aldehyde., Cinnamic, Contact, Dermatitis, From, Linked, Lips, Mos., Over, Suffering
My lips are swollen, raw, crusting…. Sometimes the skins on my lips turns white then sloughs off in a seemingly never-ending cycle.
I can’t eat normally and everything I drink has to come through a straw.
I have been to several dermatologists and had 2 seperate biopsies. Those results were normal and as well as bloodwork. I have shown an immediate sensitivity to cinnamic aldehyde through a patch test and I am being treated with topical steroids. I have also eliminated all toothtpastes, gums, and mouthwashes from my routine. After many months I am still suffering and need answers….. Is my condition really a result of cinnamic aldehyde or is there something else going on? Will there be any relief for my condition ??? Does any one know anything to help me??

Once you discovered you were allergic to Cinnamic Aldehyde, did they keep checking for other allergic reactions? If you are still suffering for “many months,” then it sounds like the topical steroids haven’t given you any relief. Is that true? Have you told your doctor that your condition is not improving?
Are you so allergic that kissing someone who has used those products would also produce a reaction? Is this the case?
I can appreciate your desire for answers, especially in the midst of suffering. Unfortunately, without the intimate knowledge of your medical history (which you should not post here or anywhere for that matter) it’s impossible for us to give you the best answer of what you are allergic to and what you are not allergic to.
Please go back to the dermatologist of your choice and explain your situation. You have been on medication for this for months, radically changed your lifestyle, and have seen no improvement in your condition. These are excellent reasons to talk to your dermatologist, and ask if there is anything else that they can do for you, or anything else you may be allergic to. They do not want to see you suffer.
