Hairdressers belong to an occupational group that is commonly affected by occupational skin disease, specifically contact dermatitis, which may be allergic or irritant and, less commonly, contact urticaria. Occupational contact dermatitis predominantly affects apprentices, and atopy is a recognized risk factor associated with a poor prognosis. Repetitive wet work leading to irritant contact dermatitis, followed by exposure to allergens and the development of allergic contact dermatitis, are the main factors contributing to occupational contact dermatitis. Once developed, it is often difficult to manage and is a cause of significant morbidity. Early education, training and prevention is the best approach to the management of this disorder that is endemic among hairdressers.

“…The popularity of hair coloring can be gauged from the fact that the median age for debut was 16 years and nearly 75% of women and 18% of men had dyed their hair at some point in their lives according to a Danish population-based study [1]. This rising trend of hair coloring has resulted in an increased prevalence of hair dye-associated adverse effects, which vary from mild contact dermatitis localized to one body site (hand dermatitis) or disseminated generalized dermatitis to severe life threatening complications such as contact urticaria/angioedema, rhinitis/bronchospasm/asthma, and renal toxicity [2,3].Adequate knowledge and accurate information about hair dye usage and its adverse effects are important for the general population. Identification of correlates of poor knowledge, casual attitude, and wrong perceptions among the hair dye users will help in reducing the prevalence of hair dye associated complications.…”

INTRODUCTIONHair dyes (HD) are perhaps among the most commonly used cosmetics by elderly and the young alike -for concealing gray hair by the former or just for a fashion statement by the latter. The popularity of hair coloring can be gauged from the fact that the median age for debut was 16 years and nearly 75% of women and 18% of men had dyed their hair at some point in their lives according to a Danish population-based study [1]. This rising trend of hair coloring has resulted in an increased prevalence of hair dye-associated adverse effects, which vary from mild contact dermatitis localized to one body site (hand dermatitis) or disseminated generalized dermatitis to severe life threatening complications such as contact urticaria/angioedema, rhinitis/bronchospasm/asthma, and renal toxicity [2,3].Adequate knowledge and accurate information about hair dye usage and its adverse effects are important for the general population. Identification of correlates of poor knowledge, casual attitude, and wrong perceptions among the hair dye users will help in reducing the prevalence of hair dye associated complications. However, there is a paucity of literature on the level of knowledge, attitude, and perceptions of general ABSTRACT Background: Hair dye usage is extremely common all over the world. Hair dyes have been reported to cause a wide range of adverse effects, therefore, the consumer's knowledge about hair dyeing and related side effects are important. Aim: To assess the knowledge, attitude and practices of general population towards the use of hair dyes. Materials and Methods: Two hundred and fifty consecutive persons using hair dyes were enrolled for this questionnaire-based cross-sectional, descriptive study. Results: These 250 patients comprised 141 men (56.4%) and 109 women (43.6%) (M: F 1.29:1), aged between 16 and 74 (mean 47.13) years. The majority, 212 patients (84.8%) were aged between 20-60 years and 66.4% (n=166) belonged to an urban background. When asked about the reason for using hair color, the principle reason was "to look younger" (59.6%, n=149). Most of the respondents were using synthetic hair dye preparations (55.2%, n=138) and when asked about the brand of hair dye being used, 25.2% (n=63) did not know about the brand they were using. When asked about their perception regarding safety of HD, 61% (n=152) respondents agreed that hair dyes are not safe and on being asked about the carcinogenic potential of HD, only 24% (n=60) respondents agreed. When enquired about the safest variety of HD, majority of respondents (52.4%, n=131) believed that plant based hair colors are the safest. When asked about the safety of HD during pregnancy and lactation, 68% (n=168) of the respondents were unaware regarding this aspect. 14.4% of the respondents reported suffering from some adverse effects due to hair dye use but only 11.11% (n=4) of those stopped using hair dyes. Conclusions: There is lack of awareness about the hair dyes and their adverse effects in the general population. There is an urgent need to in...

Anaphylaxis is a systemic allergic reaction, potentially life-threatening that can be due to nonoccupational or, less commonly, to occupational triggers. Occupational anaphylaxis (OcAn) could be defined as anaphylaxis arising out of triggers and conditions attributable to a particular work environment. Hymenoptera stings and natural rubber latex are the commonest triggers of OcAn. Other triggers include food, medications, insect/mammal/snake bites, and chemicals. The underlying mechanisms of anaphylactic reactions due to occupational exposure are usually IgE-mediated and less frequently non-IgE-mediated allergy or nonallergic. Some aspects of work-related allergen exposure, such as route and frequency of exposure, type of allergens, and cofactors may explain the variability of symptoms in contrast to the nonoccupational setting. When assessing OcAn, both confirmation of the diagnosis of anaphylactic reaction and identification of the trigger are required. Prevention of further episodes is important and is based on removal from further exposure. Workers with a history of OcAn should immediately be provided with a written emergency management plan and an adrenaline auto-injector and educated to its use. Immunotherapy is recommended only for OcAn due to Hymenoptera stings.
