Enterprises of the ferroalloy production are characterized by a combination of adverse factors, such as chemical, physical, temperature differences, thermal radiation. The aim of the study was to investigate the frequency and severity of acne definition of the employees at ferroalloy production. We have carried out a preventive medical examination of 2856 workers. From 2856 examined workers, skin pathology is identified at 621 that was 21,7±0,8%, including acne ‐ 53 (18,5±2,3%). In a comparative analysis on groups of units higher incidence of acne was found in group 1 workers coming into contact with more intense dermotropic factors of production cycle 36 (67,9±6,4); Group II ‐ 10 patients (18,9±5,4); in III ‐ 7 people (13,2± 4,6). The severity was assessed by a simple three‐step scale: acne vulgaris I and II severity ‐ 43 (81,1±5,4%), severe degrees of acne ‐ 10 (18,9 ± 4,6%); including acne conglobate ‐ 3 (5,7±3,2%) and nodular ‐ cystic acne ‐ 7 (13,2 ± 4,6%). Severe forms of acne were to the employees I division. Patients with acne related mainly to the age group of 20‐29 years ‐ 34 people (64.1%) and 30‐39 years ‐ 19 people (35.9%). It was characterized by a more frequent development of the disease in up to 5 years ‐ 36 workers (67.9%), respectively. Thus, acne is more prevalent in one group of workers are employed directly in the production of ferroalloys 36 (67,9±6,4).
