Popis: Chronic wound care represents a growing healthcare cost and is responsible for considerable morbidity. Contact dermatitis, classified as irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) or allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), represents an area for potential improvement among healthcare practitioners and wound care product manufacturers to optimize healing time and healthcare outcomes in chronic wound patients. ACD and ICD in the setting of wound care require special management by healthcare practitioners, while manufacturers should strive to remove all common allergens from wound care products.
