| Abstract: | ![]()
Allergic contact stomatitis may be difficult to distinguish from irritant stomatitis and may mimic the oral changes of a vitamin deficiency, certain anemias, uremic stomatitis, stomatitis nicotina, and even candidiasis. When these conditions have been ruled out, skin patch testing may be indicated. There is no need to test the oral mucosa directly because the oral mucosa and skin are sensitized at the same time. |
