chemical irritation
Substance-induced skin inflammation
Chemical irritation is tissue damage or inflammation caused by contact with a reactive substance.
The skin, eyes, and respiratory tract are most vulnerable: The cleaning solution caused chemical irritation to her hands.
Unlike allergic reactions, chemical irritation results from direct tissue damage rather than immune response, and severity depends on concentration and exposure time.
