Abstract

The article presents a case study of a 22-year-old female lottery employee with airborne facial dermatitis that spread over her trunk and limbs. She had a history of contact allergy to nickel and was diagnosed with airbone occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) caused by nickel exposure in lottery scratchcards. The role of nickel in the development of OCD and rare cases of OCD caused by nickel are discussed.
