The prognosis of occupational contact dermatitis

D J Hogan. Occup Med. 1994 Jan-Mar.

Abstract

Despite the development of new drugs and improvements in working conditions, the prognosis for recovery from contact dermatitis has not changed significantly over the past 50 years. This chapter reviews the prognosis for both irritant and allergic contact dermatitis and discusses the main reasons that contact dermatitis persists, including misdiagnosis and continued exposure to irritants and allergens.
