Occupational Contact Dermatitis

Occupational Contact Dermatitis is a skin condition caused by exposure to substances at work that irritate the skin or trigger an allergic reaction. This can happen through direct contact with chemicals, metals, or other materials, leading to redness, itching, and swelling. It is common in various professions, including healthcare and construction. Preventing this condition involves using protective gear, proper hygiene, and being aware of potential irritants or allergens in the workplace. If symptoms develop, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.
