      1. Results in keratinization disorder
    3. Nickel hypersensitivity
  4. Causes
    1. Very potent irritants
      1. Wet cement
      2. Strong acids (e.g. Hydrofluoric acid)
      3. Ethylene oxide

      2. Continous and prolonged water irrigation of skin
      3. Do not neutralize acids with base or vice versa
        1. Results in increased damage due to heat reaction
