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.
众所周知，医护人员患职业性接触性皮炎的风险更高，应关注可导致接触性皮炎的新材料。十四烷基硫酸钠广泛用于治疗腿部小静脉曲张和静脉畸形。我们报告了一例42岁女性医护人员的病例，她因十四烷基硫酸钠引发了接触性皮炎。在最后一次随访时，避免接触十四烷基硫酸钠后，由其诱发的接触性皮炎完全消退。因此，我们建议在处理该物质时加强防护措施。
