[Aspects of occupational skin diseases in hair dressers].
Hairdressers are exposed to a broad variety of substances known for their strong sensitizing and irritant capacities. Especially wet work and handling of hair-care products causes a high risk for occupational skin disease. Lately, due to new regulations regarding substances and techniques used as well as improved skin protection, the prevalence of occupational skin disease in hairdressers has significantly declined. It is of great importance to fulfill and extent these requirements to further minimize the risk of occupational skin disease in this profession.
