Abstract

Abstract: Contact dermatitis, also known as contact eczema, is a very common pathology, especially in the work environment, presents two pathophysiological mechanisms that are due to direct injury to an irritant substance or due to a hypersensitivity reaction to allergenic substances. The treatment in this pathology is based on the prevention of encountering with the substance again and it is from here that the problem arises since many of these substances are found in everyday objects of the day to day that sometimes become a vital part in the aesthetics of people, as well as the panorama is aggravated when the objects to avoid are part of the patient's work environment. This added to the new pandemic that has had an increase in hand hygiene and therefore greater contact with potentially dangerous substances for patients. This review aims to observe how the aforementioned factors affect quality of life.
