Mathias (1988) reported 13 similar cases which he termed post-traumatic eczema. The injuries were mainly of occupational origin. Eczema started within a few weeks after the trauma, and the individual lesions recurred for up to 8 years. Post-traumatic eczema has to be differentiated from other eczematous and non-eczematous disorders, such as trauma-induced psoriasis, foreign-body reaction and recurrent herpes simplex precipitated by trauma. Superimposed allergic contact dermatitis from topical preparations used to treat the eczematous skin must be excluded.

Another type of eczematous dermatitis that can follow after a chemical burn is post-traumatic eczema (Mathias 1988). It can present as discoid eczema and is a poorly understood complication of skin injuries (Wilkinson 1979). It can appear after either physical or chemical skin injuries, including chemical burns, and is always unrelated to infection and topical treatment.
