Abstract

İrritan kontakt dermatit (İKD), cilt yapılarına zarar veren kimyasalların direkt neden olduğu non-allerjik bir durumdur. Dermatolojik bulgular, maruziyetin sıklığı, şekli ve bireysel duyarlılık nedeniyle geniş bir yelpazede karşımıza çıkabilir. İKD'nin tanı ve tedavisinde en kritik nokta irritanın belirlenmesidir. Çünkü, irritan ile temasın önlenmesi en iyi tedavi yöntemidir. Özellikle geriatrik hastalarda herhangi bir irritan ile maruziyet hakkında sorgulama çok dikkatli yapılmalıdır. Bu vaka sunumunda, koronavirüs pandemisi sırasında abartılı kullanılmış Arap sabunundaki potasyum hidrokloride maruz kalmanın neden olduğu 71 yaşında IKD’li bir kadın hastayı sunuyoruz.

Irritant Contact Dermatitis Caused by Arab Soap: A Case Report

Year 2021, Volume: 15 Issue: 3, 639 - 641, 10.09.2021

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.
