“…Nonetheless, the evidence was considered low quality and not clinically significant [101]. While topical corticosteroids are commonly used for the treatment of irritant contact dermatitis, their effectiveness is disputed, with some studies suggesting they may reduce skin barrier function, and although they may be beneficial for some chronic hyperkeratotic lesions, prolonged use can lead to skin thinning and increased sensitivity, necessitating systemic corticosteroids during severe episodes [102][103][104]. Topical calcineurin inhibitors are topical immunomodulators that offer a safe alternative to corticosteroids.…”

Work-related skin conditions, including work-related irritant and allergic contact dermatitis, rank as the second most prevalent among work-related diseases. The most commonly reported manifestation of these conditions is hand eczema, which develops due to exposure to various substances in the workplace. Understanding the origins and triggers of eczema and contact dermatitis enables healthcare professionals to educate themselves and their patients about effective preventive measures, such as avoiding specific irritants and allergens, using protective equipment, and maintaining proper skincare hygiene. Additionally, this knowledge facilitates the development of new recommendations to enhance skin protection in work-related settings, regulate the use of substances known to cause work-related skin diseases, and provide healthcare practitioners with the necessary training to recognize and manage these conditions. Given that approximately one in every five healthcare workers is considered to have hand eczema, the objective of this study was to review the existing literature regarding the characteristics of eczema in healthcare workers. Furthermore, this study aimed to comprehensively investigate environmental and constitutional factors (including years of work experience involving exposure to skin hazards, frequent glove use, regular handwashing and water contact, frequent use of disinfectants and detergents, and a history of previous allergies and atopic dermatitis) that influence the occurrence and progression of eczema.

Purpose of Review Irritant contact dermatitis is the most common form of contact dermatitis and the most common occupational skin disease. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the endogenous and exogenous factors that play a role in the pathogenesis of irritant contact dermatitis. Recent Findings In conjunction with avoidance of irritants, barrier protection, and regular application of moisturizers, management now emphasizes the importance of primary prevention through educational initiatives in high-risk workplaces. Summary The diagnosis of irritant contact dermatitis is often difficult, as there is no confirmatory test, and it is often a default diagnosis after allergic contact dermatitis has been excluded. Early recognition, prevention, and treatment are vital in management, especially in the occupational setting.
