Hydrocortisone (Section 13.4) is available over the counter but is sold to the public only for certain limited indications, namely allergic contact dermatitis, irritant dermatitis and insect bite reactions. Pharmacists may not supply hydrocortisone preparations for chronic conditions, such as eczema, or for use on the face, anogenital region, broken or infected skin (Drug Ther Bull 1987; 14: 53).

Occupational Contact

Occupational population-based epidemiological data relating to occupational contact allergies in the Chinese clothing industry are limited. To investigate the prevalence of occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD) and to identify the causative allergens among clothing employees in China, a cross-sectional study was conducted in 529 clothing employees at 12 clothing factories in Beijing. All employees were subjected to an interview using self-administered questionnaire and skin examination, and those who were diagnosed with occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) were patch tested. In the present survey, we found that the overall 1-year prevalence of OACD among the clothing employees was 8.5%. The 1-year prevalence of OACD among workers (10.8%) was significantly higher than that among managers (3.2%). The lesions were primarily on the hands and wrists in workers, but the face and neck in managers. The major allergens were nickel sulfate and cobalt dichloride in workers and colophony andp-tert-butylphenol formaldehyde resin in managers. In conclusion, workers are at a higher risk of OACD compared with managers in the Chinese clothing industry. In addition to hand dermatitis in workers, airborne contact dermatitis on the face and neck should be also addressed in managers.

Allergic Contact

The most common type of therapy in dermatology is the use of topical medicaments placed directly on affected skin. The main base used for most medicaments is white petrolatum. Ointments, creams, and lotions, whether compounded as a prescription or as an over-the-counter product, are petrolatum based. An ointment has no water added and thus does not need a preservative. A cream simply is petrolatum with added water to make it more cosmetically elegant and more easily rubbed into the skin. A lotion is a cream with even more water. All products with water added require a preservative to prevent bacterial and/or fungal overgrowth plus a masking fragrance. Many of these added chemicals can provoke allergic contact dermatitis (discussed further below). Ointments are the most protective for the skin and the most hydrating although the least accepted by patients due to their greasy nature. Creams are most often used. Other bases include gels, solutions, and foams.
