Explanation:

Question 13

• Option a: Keeping tools etc. clean helps prevent contact dermatitis as it reduces exposure to irritants.
• Option b: Sensitizing the skin by exposing it to larger amounts of an irritant is not a preventive measure. In fact, it can worsen the condition.
• Option c: Wearing gloves protects the skin from irritating chemicals, which is a good preventive step.
• Option d: Keeping containers etc. clean reduces the presence of substances that can cause contact dermatitis.

• Option a: While an ulcer can be dangerous for someone with an underlying condition, this does not explain why it is a secondary lesion.
• Option b: A secondary lesion is one that develops from a primary lesion or due to changes in a primary lesion. An open lesion (ulcer) that may weep fluid or pus is a characteristic of a secondary lesion.
• Option c: A lesion raised above the skin surface is more characteristic of a primary lesion like a papule.
• Option d: The survival rate if left untreated is not relevant to it being a secondary lesion.

• Option a: Eczema has various causes (not just contact with certain ingredients/chemicals in the context of this question).
• Option b: Contact dermatitis is specifically the skin inflammation caused by contact with certain ingredients or chemicals.
• Option c: Seborrheic dermatitis is related to sebum production and yeast over - growth, not just contact with chemicals/ingredients.
• Option d: Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, not typically caused by contact with certain ingredients/chemicals.

Answer:

B. Sensitize the skin to the irritant by exposing it to larger and larger amounts.
