acrylate components, could be judged as cross-reactions. It has been previously shown through chemical analyses that industrial acrylates, and even patch-testing substances, may contain a high proportion of other (meth)acrylates. When patch testing with a comprehensive acrylate series is missing, 2-HEMA in the baseline series may avoid a false negative result, since this allergen a good marker for acrylate allergy. In conclusion, we underline the importance of an exhaustive allergological workup in allergic contact stomatitis to identify the culprit allergens and to prevent its chronicity and negative impact on the patient's quality of life.
