A case of vitamin C allergy of the delayed type is reported. Eczematous skin lesions appeared during normal uptake of the vitamin C contained in food. After a vitamin C‐free diet, the skin lesions disappeared. Patch tests and an oral exposure with vitamin C gave positive reactions. This observation of vitamin C allergy is compared with previous published cases.
