Nickel hairdressers

Contact dermatitis as a reaction to nickel is well known but usually reflects continuing non-medical exposure, for example among hairdressers (16) nickel released from injection needles and from Dermojets can, however, also give rise to cutaneous hypersensitivity reactions. [Pg.2503]

The historical account shows that clinical observations may be very misleading, encouraging clinicians to provide glib diagnoses for problems that are not otherwise explicable. The role of water is often only contributory, a predisposing factor that makes the skin more permeable to noxious chemicals, such as soaps, solvents and metallic allergens nickel and chromium, in the workplace. Chronic hand dermatitis is a convincing example of this in wet occupations, such as hairdressers and workers in the chemical industries. [Pg.78]

Wahlberg (1975), who reported 40% nickel allergy among hairdresser patients with hand eczema, focused nickel allergy among hairdressers. Results from clinical patch testing of hairdressers referred to dermatology departments have been published from several countries (Table 3). The frequency of positive reactions to... [Pg.527]

Hand eczema and nickel allergy often affect hairdressers early in their careers and often during their apprenticeship (Wahlberg 1975 Lindemayr 1984). This propensity to allergies among hairdressers will affect their careers and their tendency to leave the occupation, and it also affects the results of epidemiological and clinical studies concerning hairdressers. [Pg.527]

Some authors have doubted that the high prevalence of nickel allergy is due to occupational exposure. Current epidemiological studies will hopefully help to settle the question. In an individual case it must, however, be recognised that occupational nickel exposure might be an important factor contributing to or causing the hairdressers hand eczema. [Pg.527]
