Management of hairdressers sensitized to hair dyes or permanent wave solutions.
Paraphenylendiamine and glyceryl monothioglycolate are among the most common sensitizers in hairdressers. Ordinary vinyl gloves can prevent paraphenylenediamine sensitization, but presently available gloves are either not protective against glyceryl monothioglycolate sensitization or are too cumbersome to use. A new, lightweight Danish "4H" glove, which protects workers against epoxy resin and acrylic compounds, is being investigated for use in protecting against glyceryl monothioglycolate sensitization. Table II lists the principal features of the differential management of patients with paraphenylenediamine and glyceryl monothioglycolate sensitization.
