Abstract

Commercial petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene and fuel oils are complex mixtures of hundreds of different hydrocarbons. Dermal exposure to such agents may lead to damaging effects on the skin barrier and may causes local effects like skin irritation, inflammation, skin corrosion and burn like injuries.

Here, we present a unique case of angioedema of lips caused due to use of kerosene as a mouthwash.
