Abstract:
Contact dermatitis is a common issue for many floral employees. Tulips are one of the most common causes of hand dermatitis. Tulipalin A is the main sensitizer in tulips and also is found in the Peruvian lily. "Tulip fingers" is the most typical clinical presentation of hand dermatitis from tulips and is characterized by erythematous scaling seen in periungual skin and between the first and second fingertips of the dominant hand. The best prevention for tulip contact dermatitis is to avoid exposure to the inciting plants or use nitrile gloves.
