What is the skin disease caused by rubber products?

Natural and synthetic rubber are used in rubber products industry. Natural rubber usually does not cause sensitivity, while synthetic rubber, especially the additives added in rubber processing, such as hardener (sulfur, sulfur monochloride, etc.), filler (magnesium carbonate, calcium carbonate, etc.), anti-wear agent (carbon black, asphalt, resin, etc.), accelerator (TMTD), antioxidant a (N-phenyl)- α- Naphthylamine) and Colorants (phthalocyanine blue, titanium dioxide, chromium pigment) can cause allergic contact reaction after contact.

Common symptoms: rubber products practitioners, face, neck, hand, forearm, leg and other places appear red spot papules, itching, rough, chapped, more common in rubber products processing, production and use of practitioners.

Hyperkeratosis occurred frequently in winter, hand damage mainly, dry, rough or chapped, conscious pain.
