ABSTRACT

Irritant Contact Dermatitis (ICD) is the most common type of contact dermatitis and occupational dermatosis. ICD accounts 80% of all contact dermatitis. It is a multifactorial disease. Properties of the irritant, environmental and host related factors, exposure related parameters determine the clinical presentation. Although lesions may develop anywhere on the body, hands are one of the most affected areas during occupational or routine household activities. Clinical types of the disease mainly occur in a spectrum including subjective reactions, irritant reactions, acute ICD, acute delayed ICD, chronic ICD, chemical burn, traumatic ICD, pustular and acne-like ICD, frictional dermatitis, asteatotic ICD. Other clinical presentations such as airborne ICD, diaper dermatitis or Paederus dermatitis may also be seen. ICD may present with acute or chronic features. Histopathological features differ according to whether they are acute or chronic. In this section, clinical and histopathological findings of ICD are discussed.
