Cutting fluids and oils cause occupational skin diseases. This review covers their types, associated skin disorders, and clinical signs of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis from metalworking fluids.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Dermatology
  • Industrial Hygiene

Background:

  • Cutting fluids, oils, and coolants are widely used in industrial settings.
  • These substances are recognized etiological agents for various occupational skin diseases.
  • Skin exposure is a common route of occupational contact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the function and classification of cutting fluids.
  • To review the spectrum of cutaneous disorders linked to their use.
  • To examine the clinical presentations of irritant and allergic contact dermatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles and clinical case reports.
  • Analysis of data on the composition and application of metalworking fluids.
  • Synthesis of information on dermatological manifestations.

Main Results:

  • Cutting fluids encompass various types, each with specific applications and potential for skin irritation or sensitization.
  • Irritant contact dermatitis is characterized by erythema, dryness, and scaling.
  • Allergic contact dermatitis presents with pruritus, vesicles, and eczematous changes.

Conclusions:

  • Occupational skin diseases are a significant concern in industries utilizing cutting fluids.
  • Understanding the types of fluids and their clinical effects is crucial for prevention and management.
  • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate interventions are necessary to mitigate the impact of contact dermatitis in metalworkers.
