Description
Summary:A young woman wishes to be confirmed, but she has very sensitive skin and is allergic to floral perfumes and some lotions. Se and her parents are concerned that she is allergic to the Chrism. A test with a very small amount of the Chrism on her arm produces a burning sensation and reddening of her skin. She is probably allergic to the balsam, as a test with just olive oil produces no reaction. The young woman earnestly wants to be confirmed, but does not want to have any oil put on her forehead which will cause an allergic reaction. What can be done?
