Occupational skin diseases are the most common work-related diseases in many countries. Shoe industry workers are potential to be affected by work-related skin diseases (WRSDs). This study aimed to analyze the risk factors associated with WRSDs among workers in the sewing section at a shoe company in West Java. A total of 477 workers were examined and interviewed using the modified Nordic Occupational Skin Questionnaire-2002/LONG from May 2016 to July 2016. Chi-square test and logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors related to WRSDs. The results showed that 57.7% of the workers suffered from WRSDs. Most of the workers (71.7%) did not wear gloves while working; however, they washed their hands adequately at work (67.1%). Multivariate analysis indicated that a term of work, allergy records, organic dust exposure and duration of exposure per day, handwashing habits, and use of gloves while working were significant to WRSDs. Having allergy records and not wearing gloves were the two dominant factors associated with WRSDs (odds ratio: 6.743 and 6.224, respectively). Understanding the importance of using chemical protective gloves while working and washing hands with running water are essential for the proper implementation of protective measures to ensure worker's safety and health.

“…Textile workers are frequently exposed many potentially harmful substances, such as metal tools, dyes, potassium dichromate, leather, aerosols, adhesives, and finishing agents. [8,17,21] OACD in textile workers is most often attributed to sensitization to textile/formaldehyde resins and disperse dyes/dye finishes, which are typically used to color mixed fabrics/fibers. [8,22] Lisi et al [23] stated that the prevalence of OACD caused by textile dyes ranged from 1.4% to 5.8%.…”

Objectives: Contact dermatitis (CD) is a common skin disease. Occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) is the most frequently seen occupational skin disease and includes both occupational allergic CD (OACD) and occupational irritant CD (OICD). One of the most common sources of OACD is textile products. Individuals with atopic dermatitis (AD) have an increased risk for development of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). However, the role of AD in the etiopathogenesis of the development of OACD among textile industry workers is not well known. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of AD among textile workers with OACD and to analyze contact antigenic diversity between the workers with and without AD. Methods: A prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 352 textile workers who had previously been diagnosed with OACD. The patients were questioned and examined with respect to AD criteria, demographic features, disease duration, duration of employment until first symptoms, phototype, workplace (subsectors), and location of lesions at control visits. Immediate skin test reactivity was evaluated with a commercial skin prick test panel. The data obtained and the patients' previously recorded patch test results were compared in OACD groups with and without a diagnosis of AD. The results were statistically evaluated with a significance level of p value <0.05. Results: The study population consisted of 124 males and 227 females. The mean age was 35.69±13.65 years. The most commonly seen employment duration, phototype, subsector, and location were 4 to 8 months (26.14%), 9 to 12 months (34.66%), Fitzpatrick type-III (37.50%), dyeing (33.52%), and exclusively the hands (60.51%), respectively. In all, 193 patients (54.83%) met the criteria for the diagnosis of AD. In the OACD group with AD, there was a significant number with 4 major and 16 minor criteria, as well as positivity for 14 contact allergens. Conclusion: Most AD criteria, or a diagnosis of AD, are highly detectable among workers with textile-related OACD. The results for patch test allergens may be significantly higher than those of individuals without AD. Textile workers with AD should be warned about the possibility of the early development of OACD.

Background: Occupational skin diseases are common and deserve medical attention. Hairdressers are special risky group for skin diseases. Objective: To determine the prevalence of self-reported hand contact dermatitis among female hairdressers in Basrah city. Methods: Sixty one salons in Basrah city center were chosen randomly by using the systematic random sampling technique from a name's list of registered salons in Basrah General Health Directorate. A convenient sample of female hairdressers was chosen from these salons. A special questionnaire form prepared for the purpose of the study was used for collection of data from female hairdressers who agreed to participate in the study by direct interview. Results: A total of 80 female hairdressers were included in the study. Their age ranged between 19 and 65 years old with a median age of 32.5 years. The prevalence of self-reported hand contact dermatitis or eczema among female hairdressers was 31.3%. It was significantly associated with the age and nationality of female hairdressers (P-value = 0.021 and 0.035 respectively). Furthermore, there was significant association between self-reported hand contact dermatitis and personal history of atopy (Pvalue < 0.001) and family history of atopy. (P-value=0.031). Conclusions: The self-reported hand contact dermatitis is fairly common and associated significantly with age of female hairdressers, nationality, personal and family history of atopy. We recommend to enhance occupational health measures for the hairdressers with special alteration in the preventive aspects
