Occupational contact dermatitis caused by rubber gloves led to intensely itchy, linear lesions on a construction worker's hand and forearm. Symptoms improved when not working, indicating a work-related skin condition.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Occupational Medicine

Background:

  • Occupational contact dermatitis is a common skin condition resulting from exposure to substances in the workplace.
  • Identifying the causative agent is crucial for effective management and prevention.

Observation:

  • A construction worker presented with pruritic, linear, excoriated, and crusted lesions on his left hand and forearm.
  • Lesions were localized to the area covered by a rubber glove and flared with work, resolving during time off.
  • Physical examination revealed lichenified plaques, excoriations, and scaly lesions, with hyperkeratosis on the palm.

Findings:

  • The patient's symptoms were strongly associated with wearing a rubber glove during construction work.
  • The pattern of lesions suggested a contact irritant or allergic reaction to the glove material.

  • Topical corticosteroid treatment led to progressive resolution of the dermatitis.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering occupational exposures, specifically glove use, in the differential diagnosis of hand and forearm dermatoses.
    • Proper protective equipment and material selection are essential in preventing occupational contact dermatitis in construction workers.
    • Early diagnosis and management can prevent chronic skin changes and improve quality of life for affected individuals.
