Irritant contact dermatitis

eczematous dermatitis often caused by repeated exposure to mild irritants such as water, soaps, sol- vents, heat, friction. Chronic exposure to mild irri- tants is common and can result in eczematous changes. Strong irritants include acids, alkalis, wet cement; chemicals can result in acute lesions of chemical burns. Mild irritants cause dryness, fis- suring, erythema; strong irritants produce an imme- diate reaction of burning, erythema, edema, and possibly vesiculation or ulceration.
