Abstract:
In this study, we investigated a 42-year-old man working in a refractory brick (RB) production line who had allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) due to skin exposure to chromium (Cr). He had visited a dermatologist several times over a five-month period and although he had been medically treated, the symptoms reappeared after he returned to work and resumed exposure. Finally, with the announcement of the definite diagnosis of ACD through a patch test, it was decided to exclude him from exposure, and after 20 days, the symptoms went through the recovery process. No new recurring episodes were reported during the six-month follow-up period.
