Abstract
Healthcare workers are known to be at a higher risk of experiencing occupational contact dermatitis and attention should be paid to new materials that cause contact dermatitis. Sodium tetradecyl sulfate is widely used in the treatment of small varicose veins of the legs and venous malformations. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman, a healthcare worker, who presented with contact dermatitis caused by sodium tetradecyl sulfate. The contact dermatitis induced by sodium tetradecyl sulfate resolved completely after sodium tetradecyl sulfate avoidance at the last follow-up. Thus, we recommend increased protective measures when handling this substance.
