ABSTRACT
Cement is increasingly used in the construction industry. Cement handling has been found to be responsible for many cases of occupational dermatitis, but cement burns have rarely been reported. Alkalinity of wet cement, abrasion by sand particulates, and prolonged contact, due to wet clothes, are relevant factors for cement burns. Although cement burns can result in full thickness burn and severe sequelae, the prevalence and severity are underestimated, due to the unawareness of patients and physicians. Herein, we report two cases of cement burns in construction workers, who had contacted with wet cement on lower extremities from their occupational exposures.
