Abstract:
In work in which women predominate, the highest rate of the occupational contact dermatitis is seen among hairdressers and medical nursing staffs. Twelve such cases are presented and several points regarding the diagnosis and treatments are discussed. The patients were five hairdressers, two dental technicians, two nurses and three woman divers. A patch test was useful in identifying the allergens or irritants in most cases.
