Chloracne Results from Exposure to Dioxins

Chloracne is an acne-like skin condition caused by toxic chemicals, including dioxins. It develops a few months after swallowing, inhaling or touching one of these chemicals. Most cases are due to occupational exposure, but chloracne can also develop after accidental environmental poisoning.

Chloracne lesions are most often seen on the cheeks, behind the ears, in the armpits and in the groin. In addition to the acne-like lesions, some chloracne patients experience sweaty palms and soles, changes in skin pigment, the development of blisters on other areas of the body and increased body hair growth.

Most chloracne lesions clear up within two years after dioxin exposure has stopped. In some cases the lesions persist longer because dioxin remains in fat cells, where it is released slowly into the body.

In addition to the lesions, chloracne from exposure to dioxin can cause:

• Abnormal liver function
• General fatigue and sleep disturbances
• Headaches
• Nervous system disorders
• High levels of circulating blood fats (hyperlipidaemia)
• Impotence
• Type 2 diabetes
• Digestive problems, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
