Recently radiation and radioisotope are being used widely in many fields such as medicine and industry. But only a few papers were reported about the radio dermatitis due to industrial use of radiation. Authors experienced 4 cases of occupational radiodermatitis due to Ir-192 occur red during the radioisotope traspierce test. All 4 patients noticed painful swelling, erythema, and bullae on their fingers or palms 1-2 weeks after exposure. All laboratory tests to detect ystemic effects of radiation were normal. Three patients recovered after treatment with systemic and topical corticosteroid and emollient cream for 2-4 weeks.
