The topic Acne due to Chemical Exposure you are seeking is a synonym, or alternative name, or is closely related to the medical condition Chloracne.

Quick Summary:

• Acne is a common skin condition that causes inflamed red spots/lesions to appear on the face, neck, shoulders, and other regions. The condition occurs when the tiny pilosebaceous follicles become clogged with dead cells and oil
• Chloracne is an acne-like skin condition that occurs due to exposure to a variety of chemicals. The primary class of chemicals responsible for this condition is halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon compounds (including dioxins), which are present in pesticides, preservatives, herbicides, and many other products. The causative chemicals are referred to as ‘chloracnegens’
• The term Chloracne was coined because it was initially thought that the condition was caused only by compounds containing the chemical chlorine (a naturally-occurring element). However, it is now understood that several chemical substances and toxins without the chlorine molecule can cause Chloracne
• In many cases, the skin condition may be an early indicator of chemical pollution or poisoning, owing to systemic exposure to the aforementioned compounds. The acne-like lesions (forming as a reaction of the skin to the chemical agents) may be seen on the face and neck region, hands and legs, and on the genitals
• Chloracne may also cause systemic signs and symptoms that may affect the nervous system, the digestive system, and even the reproductive system. Severe and prolonged exposure may result in a set of wide-ranging complications
• Generally, it is very difficult and challenging to treat Chloracne. Removing the affected individual from the potential contaminants as early as possible is the most crucial step to avoid further aggravation of the signs and symptoms
• The skin symptoms may be treated using medications, dermabrasion, and laser therapy. However, the prognosis of Chloracne is dependent upon a set of factors that include the degree of exposure, the chemical involved, and the severity of the signs and symptoms
