Kerosine Dermatitis

Abstract: In four children, dermatitis developed following contact with kerosine-soaked clothing. Experimental reproduction of the disease was achieved in volunteer subjects by application of kerosine, supporting the view that kerosine dermatitis is of primary irritant type. Studies on the physical factors related to the skin irritability to kerosine demonstrated the following facts: (1) The skin of the Negroes appeared to be less irritable to kerosine than that of Caucasians; (2) the influence of aging is not clear, (3… Show more

“…Asteatosis, also xeroderma, is caused by decreased water content of the epidermal stratum corneum resulting from a decrease in moisture retention factors (subcorneal intercellular lipids, natural moisturizing factors, sebum, and sweat), and a decrease in the barrier function is observed in some patients 1 . Factors that cause asteatosis are physiological factors (such as age‐related changes), habits (such as excessive body washing), pathological factors (such as diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, anticancer drug treatment, or dialysis therapy), and environmental factors (such as low humidity and low temperature) 1–3 . In patients with asteatosis, the skin becomes white, scaly, and cracked, and is often itchy 1,2 .…”
