Abstract
Contact dermatitis is a common skin condition characterized by inflammation, be it acute or chronic, occurring as a result of interaction with irritant substances. It can be categorized as either irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) or allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). Contact dermatitis is currently one of the most common occupational diseases, with capability of involving any given part of skin and a predilection for the face and extremities. Irritant-contact dermatitis represents the majority of cases (around 80%), while the remaining instances are caused by interaction with allergens. Nonetheless, correctly diagnosing and treating forms of ICD remains difficult, with treatments for contact dermatitis currently based on the identification and avoidance of the underlying cause, along with the use of topical steroids and emollients, with creams frequently recommended in preventative skin care programs for the workplace.
