Dermatitis is a common skin condition across various industries, often caused by exposure to irritants or allergens. In industries like manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and agriculture, workers frequently encounter materials and chemicals that can lead to occupational dermatitis. This skin inflammation can be triggered by prolonged contact with solvents, detergents, acids and repetitive handwashing and use of alcohol gels that can result in symptoms like redness, itching and dry sore cracked hands.

In the construction industry builders handling powders and cement which contains chromium (a known cause of allergic contact dermatitis) can often suffer with skin problems.

Healthcare workers, particularly nurses and doctors, using latex gloves and disinfectants, can often suffer with allergic dermatitis.

Hairdressers (some hairdressers have had to leave the industry due ongoing skin problems), cleaners and beauty professionals are often in contact with dyes, shampoos, and cleaning agents which all increase the risk of dermatitis due to repeated exposure to these irritants.

Agricultural workers and gardeners handling fertilizers, and pesticides can be affected and even contact with specific plants like poison ivy can cause allergic reactions.

In food processing frequent hand washing and exposure to moisture, along with ingredients like spices and preservatives, can result in irritant contact dermatitis.

Preventive measures, including protective equipment and proper skin care protocols, are essential in mitigating the risk of dermatitis across these industries and a popular solution to help reduce the discomfort of dermatitis and inconvenience in time away from work is to use a lotion or barrier cream which will protect the skin.
