Zinc-chloride (7646857) is a strong primary irritant, producing ulcerations resembling those produced by chromic-acid (7738945). Exposure can arise from dental fillings, preservation and fireproofing of timber, solder flux, and Hon's chemosurgery for skin cancer. Zinc-oxide is probably the most common cause of black dermographism produced by jewelry. Zinc-oxide is present in cosmetics, lotions, and dentifrices. Zinc-stearate (557051) is so soft that it cannot cause black dermographism. D'Alibour solution, containing zinc-sulfate (7733020), copper-sulfate (7758987) and camphorated water, is sometimes used as a wet dressing, but it has not been reported as a cause of allergic dermatitis. Zinc-pyrethione (13463417) is present in a 1 percent concentration in Head and Shoulders Shampoo. There is no specific reference made to chromium (7440473) in this paper.
