Contact Dermatitis-Soaps and Detergents
0%
Those whose occupations involve extensive soaping of the skin, such as dishwashers, housewives, laundresses and surgeons, clinically show dehydrationor shrivelling of the keratin layers, which leads to irriation of the "primary irritant" type. Patch tests with 2% soap solution theoretically can
pick up a true allergy, but I am unconvinced. Perhaps coconut-oil-containing soap are wourse than others. Neutral soaps, such as Lowila, Basis, Oilatum, Hazeline or dermaphyllic are much less drying. Many of the stronger antibacterial soaps, such as Dial, Zest, Lifebuoy, Safeguard and Palmolive Gold, are sensitizing as well as drying, and may be photosensitizing.
A short but a new perspective.
