History: Per caller, used at workplace to manage yard. Used frequently at work, from about 5 yrs ago, up until ~1 yr ago. Caller states he frequently spilled AI on to left hand, as he was measuring out the concentrated product. Skin turned green after spilling onto him. Greenness persisted despite washing. Denies the use of any other products or chemicals at workplace. For about the past 1 year, skin on left hands looks dry and flaky. Dry / flakiness most prominent around joints. Fingernails on left hand appear flakey -- look like they are getting chewed down to the nub. Saw MD regarding SX. GP/MD thought symptoms were fungal symptoms. No treatments given per caller. Assessment: Caller asking my legal opinion of his situation, if there were legal ramifications. Told caller this is health service -- no legal expertise. No legal discussions would be done, period. As symptoms not resolving, to dermatologist for evaluation/treatment. Rule out fungal, dietary causes of SX. As symptoms persisting 1 yr, no home first aid thought to be useful. To MD for evaluation.
