    Author: Mobacken H, Fregert S.
    Journal: Contact Dermatitis; 1975 Jun; 1(3):175-6. PubMed ID: 138507.
    Abstract:
    A case is presented of a confectioner with a chronic hand dermatitis and positive patch test reactions to cardamom and certain terpenoid compounds present in the dried ripe seeds of cardamom. Cardamom is a popular traditional flavouring agent for baked goods and confectionery. Dermatitis from skin exposure to cardamom has to the best of our knowledge not been reported. We report one case of allergic contact dermatitis to cardamom elicited by terpenes present in the seeds.
