ICD-11 EK02.00 — Irritant contact dermatitis due to wet work
Irritant contact dermatitis caused by prolonged or repetitive wet work. It usually affects predominantly the skin of the hands and wrists but may affect other sites if clothing is repeatedly drenched. Although water and sweat alone (especially from under occlusive protection gloves) may be responsible, the risk is increased by exposure to defatting agents and irritants including soaps, detergents and cooling fluids. It is seen commonly in those looking after dependent relatives, especially young mothers. Professions or occupational sectors where there are substantial risks include health care, hairdressing, cleaning, catering and food-processing.
