In the past, chromium dermatoses with a preinjured skin have been described, but these statements have been effectively overshadowed by the repeated implication that an injured skin is a necessary forerunner to chromium action.This situation is largely due to confusion between "chrome holes" and chromium dermatitis. The deep undermining "chrome hole" is nearly always preceded by a break in the integument, while the superficial dermatitis may follow direct irritation of normal skin. In support of this attitude we present observations from the experimental application |
