  • Occupational Skin Disease
    WHAT WE’VE LEARNED ABOUT... Occupational Skin Disease A lay-language research synthesis from the Centre for Research Expertise in Occupational Disease (CREOD) 2015 update www.creod.on.ca Background What is Contact Dermatitis? Contact dermatitis is a skin reaction that looks like a rash or burn. It can be itchy or painful. It’s caused by exposure to an irritant (irritant contact dermatitis) or an allergen (allergic contact dermatitis). First symptoms may appear a day or two after first exposure, or after years of using an irritant or allergen on a regular basis. What is work-related contact dermatitis (WRCD)? Work-related contact dermatitis (WRCD) is dermatitis that’s caused by exposure to an irritant or allergen at work. WRCD is common, especially among people involved in wet work. Dishwashers, cleaners, mechanics, hairdressers and people who work in health care are particularly vulnerable to irritant WRCD. People who work with allergens like resins, rubber chemicals, metals and biocides are vulnerable to allergic WRCD. How well do we understand WRCD? While much is known about WRCD, there is still more to learn about its prevention, its treatment, and how to help workers with WRCD continue or go back to work. Several recent reviews – including an initial systematic review by our group in 2005 – have focused on WRCD prevention. Another focused on WRCD prevention, diagnosis and management. These reviews have all noted the limited amount of available evidence. However, some excellent references do exist, including the book “Controlling Skin Exposure to Chemicals and Wet-Work” by Rajadurai Sithamparanadaraj.

  • Diaper Dermatitis
    AP: Thank you for joining us on our podcast on Diaper Dermatitis. My name is Annie Poon, I am a third-year medical student at the University of Alberta. I am joined by Dr. Jessica Foulds, a pediatrician here at the U of A. 1 JF: Hi everyone! Before we begin, let’s outline some objectives of this podcast. By the end of this podcast listeners will be able to: Distinguish the term diaper dermatitis from the underlying cause Compare and contrast 3 common causes of diaper dermatitis Identify key questions to ask on the history about a skin condition Counsel caregivers on treatment of irritant dermatitis This podcast will include descriptions of rashes. If you are less familiar with the terminology to describe rash morphology, there is a great PedsCases podcast on Approach to Pediatric Rashes which you might want to listen to first! 2 Let’s start with a case here: You are in a community pediatrician’s office and are seeing 6-month-old girl in follow-up named Allie with complaints of a “diaper rash.” First of all – let’s think aBout our approach to this issue: it’s a common complaint! If the parents are concerned aBout a diaper rash, are we done? Do we have the diagnosis? 3 AP: Well, diaper rash or Diaper dermatitis is just an all-encompassing term for rashes that appear in the diaper area. It is not a diagnosis, only an umbrella term for a sign. 4 JF: Absolutely! So, thinking about the different types of diaper rashes you know or have read about, how would you distinguish them? AP: I like to think of it as rashes caused by the diaper, rashes worsened by the diaper, and those completely independent of the diaper.

Abstract Irritant contact dermatitis is an extremely common condition resulting from epidermal exposure to any number of skin irritants. Upon contact with skin irritants, the epidermis develops many identifiable problems including specific epidermal lipid deficiencies, elevated epidermal pH with concomitant suppression of epidermal lipid production, pH- dependent susceptibility to infection, inflammation, and aberrant calcium gradients. By addressing these problems simultaneously, and through irritant avoidance, the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis can be maximized.

  • Contact Dermatitis
    SUPERVISOR INSTRUCTIONS: • Use toolbox trainings to encourage safety/environmental discussions during monthly meetings with employees. • Campus Services’ employees should maintain the employee sign-in sheet in their department’s safety/environmental compliance binder as a record of training. All other groups should maintain a record of training in accordance with their Division’s training procedures. ontact dermatitis is a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with an irritating or allergy-causing substance. This type of dermatitis is the most frequent cause C of occupational skin disease; irritating or allergy-causing substances that cause contact dermatitis in many people include poisonous plants such as poison ivy and sumac, cleaning solutions, detergents, industrial chemicals, latex rubber gloves and cosmetics. Contact dermatitis most often occurs on the hands, wrists and forearms, although any area may be affected. Dusts, vapors and mists can spread the irritants and expose other areas such as the eyelids, face, ears and neck. Symptoms include itching, inflammation, swelling, burning, skin lesions, rashes, blisters, cracking and peeling of the skin. The skin may also become raw, scaly and thickened. These symptoms appear on the area of skin exposed and generally take anywhere from several days to weeks to heal. The reaction may vary from slight to severe and the dermatitis fades only if the skin no longer comes into contact with the allergen or irritant. Types of Contact Dermatitis Allergic Contact Dermatitis is inflammation caused by exposure to a substance to which the person has become hypersensitive or allergic. The reaction may vary depending on the irritant, body part and sensitivity of the individual.
