    A patient developed chloracne from lumber treated with pentachlorophenol (PCP), likely due to dioxin contamination. Oral isotretinoin treatment successfully improved the patient's skin condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Environmental Toxicology
    • Occupational Health

    Background:

    • Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chemical used in lumber treatment.
    • Technical grade PCP can be contaminated with polychlorinated aromatic compounds, including dioxins and furans.
    • These contaminants are known human health hazards.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with chloracne, a severe acne-like condition.
    • The patient's exposure to PCP-treated lumber was identified as the likely cause.
    • Chloracne developed subsequent to occupational exposure.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous absorption of dioxins and furans from contaminated lumber is the presumed mechanism of disease.
    • The patient's chloracne was successfully treated with oral isotretinoin.

  • Isotretinoin demonstrated efficacy in managing PCP-induced chloracne.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the risk of chloracne from occupational exposure to contaminated wood preservatives.
    • Suggests a potential treatment avenue for environmentally induced chloracne.
    • Underscores the importance of managing contaminants in industrial chemicals.
