Galvanised sheet metal has previously been described us a source of chromate dermatitis (Fregert et al. 1970). We report a patient who appears to have been sensitised many years previously by an entirely different source of chromate, but whose resulting hand eczema has relapsed while handling galvanised sheet metal at work.
