Dermatological examinations in workers of the Dwelling Houses Factory were performed 1-5 years apart. On the whole 1011 subjects have been examined. The most frequent professional disease was oil acne brought about by the contact with anti-adhesive oils. The effects of the kind of anti-adhesive oils, the post at work (degree of exposure to the contact with oil) as well as the work period on the acne changes have been analyzed. It was found that the most acnogenic preparation was formol, then ceramic oil while isoform proved to be much less active. It was shown that the longer the work period the more decreased the oil acne morbidity. A low percentage of allergic contact eruption (1.8%) is probably related to the highly mechanized production cycle.
