Dermatotoxicology is the study of toxic substances and their effects on the skin, focusing on how exposure to various chemicals, drugs, or environmental factors can lead to skin damage or disorders. This field examines a wide range of conditions, including allergic reactions, irritant contact dermatitis, and skin cancer, that may result from chemical exposure. Dermatitis caused by certain cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or industrial chemicals is a key area of research in dermatotoxicology. It also involves understanding the mechanisms by which toxins affect skin cells and tissues, often leading to inflammation, cell death, or DNA damage. Dermatotoxicology plays a vital role in assessing the safety of products used in everyday life, from skincare and cosmetics to occupational and environmental exposures. With an increasing number of chemicals in use, this discipline ensures the identification and regulation of harmful substances, contributing to the development of safer products and better public health outcomes.
