Chronic exposure to the contact material can cause cutaneous xerosis, thickening, and scaling, or pruritic, erythematous, indurated, scaly plaques. Allergic contact dermatitis is an inflammatory cutaneous response that follows immunological sensitization to the contact substance. Over 4000 contact allergens have been identified, and the reaction is a type IV reaction mediated by T cells (delayed hypersensitivity response). Since prevention is the key to treating this illness, it should be of the highest significance to identify occupational risk factors, reduce sources of antigen, and provide adequate protective equipment. This study discusses the risk factors and outcomes of allergen exposure in the workplace by presenting the example of a 28-year-old male student who acquired pruritic eczematous lesions on the lower limbs.
