Abstract
A disturbed epidermal barrier may lead to irritant contact dermatitis. An enhanced penetration through skin barrier may facilitate sensitization. Immunological effects induced by pre-irritation and barrier alteration may further lead to the induction of allergic Type IV-contact dermatitis and Type I (immediate-type reaction) reactions or aggravate allergic reactions.
