Abstract
In the course of one’s life, one is intimately exposed to a vast chemical environment. In exceptional cases, contact of chemicals with the skin gives rise to adverse reactions, such as allergic contact dermatitis (or contact allergy). Clinically, this condition is manifested by eczematous skin lesions that appear several hours to several days after exposure to the allergen or allergens to which the individual has been previously sensitized.
