Abstract EN
Protein contact dermatitis (PCD) is a contact dermatitis caused by high-molecular-weight proteins.
This entity has been reported with increasing frequency, most commonly as occupational hand dermatitis in food handlers.
Clinically, it is characterized by a chronic and recurrent dermatitis with erythema, scaling, and fissures with acute exacerbations occurring a few minutes after contact with offending allergen.
We report two cases in confectioners who presented with chronic hand dermatitis.
