Presentation The presentation and pattern of skin change may give some indication of the likely irritant. Hands are the most frequently affected with direct contact. Chemicals on clothing may produce changes in axillae, groins and feet. [patient.info]

• Withdrawn

  Strict avoidance of noxious irritants and allergens is of paramount importance, and patients must be withdrawn from work until all offenders are clearly identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patch testing is the gold standard for the workup of allergic contact dermatitis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment involving emollients and corticosteroid medicines for symptoms such as redness, inflammation, dryness, itching or a burning sensation may be required. [idu.org.uk]

Medical Treatment There are a number of ways contact dermatitis can be treated. Removing the cause is desirable and helps to make medical treatment effective. [isonharrison.co.uk]

Multidisciplinary teams have been successful in the treatment of OCD, and newly described topical treatments may provide additional modalities for use in the occupational setting. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment Options Table 1. Treatment options for OCD. Table 1. [dermatologyadvisor.com]

Second-line agents (eg, psoralen combined with ultraviolet A (PUVA) treatment, ciclosporin and azathioprine) may be initiated in a specialist setting for the treatment of chronic, steroid-resistant dermatitis. [patient.info]

[…] for those with irritant versus allergic contact dermatitis; prognosis for different allergens to top of page Last Update: 28-Jul-2013 [bohrf.org.uk]

Early diagnosis, appropriate management and timely referral can improve prognosis. Irritant contact dermatitis is more common than allergic contact dermatitis. Both types may coexist and it may be impossible to differentiate them clinically. [medicinetoday.com.au]

The prognosis was the same for those who changed their work or slopped working as it was for those who continued their eczema‐inducing work. The full text of this article hosted at iucr.org is unavailable due to technical difficulties. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Prognosis [ 1 ] Usually, the condition will go with avoidance of the allergen but this may require giving up the job. A notable exception is cement dermatitis that is due to the chromium content. [patient.info]

Etiology Broadly speaking, OCD is an inflammatory condition of the skin resulting from cutaneous contact with materials found in the workplace. [dermatologyadvisor.com]
