Irritant Contact Dermatitis Caused by Arab Soap: A Case Report

Abstract

Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is a condition caused by chemicals that damage skin structures in a direct non-allergic way. Dermatologic findings may present in a broad spectrum due to frequency and route of exposure and individual susceptibility. The most critical point in the diagnosis and treatment of ICD is to determine the irritant since its cessation is the best treatment. Specifically, in geriatric patients, questioning about any irritant exposure should be done carefully. In this report, we present a 71-year-old woman with ICD that was caused by exposure to potassium hydrochloride in Arab soap and exaggerated amid the coronavirus pandemic.
