Limited experience with humans has shown that exposure to even small amounts of the higher chlorinated derivatives, particularly hexachlorodiphenyl oxide, may result in appreciable acneform dermatitis. Chloracne is usually persistent and affects the face, ears, neck, shoulders, arms, chest, and abdomen (especially around the umbilicus and on the scrotum). The most sensitive areas are below and to the outer side of the eye (malar crescent) and behind the ear. The skin is frequently dry with noninflammatory comedones and pale yellow cysts containing sebaceous matter and keratin.
