| Abstract |
5 cases are presented of ulcerative and erythematous lesions of the genitals and buttocks occurring in workers whose coveralls were still damp after having been dry-cleaned using Stoddard solvent. Findings were consistent with irritant contact dermatitis. The literature on the commonest dry-cleaning methods is reviewed. Recommendations to avoid the problem are made. |
