Ihotoleranssi

Ihotoleranssi refers to a person's ability to withstand exposure to irritants or allergens that would typically cause a reaction. This can manifest in various ways, such as a reduced likelihood of developing contact dermatitis when exposed to common allergens or a higher threshold for experiencing skin irritation from friction or certain chemicals. Genetic factors, the skin's natural barrier function, and previous exposure history can all play a role in determining an individual's level of ihotoleranssi.

Individuals with high ihotoleranssi might not experience redness, itching, or blistering even after contact with substances that cause significant reactions in others. Conversely, those with low ihotoleranssi are more sensitive and may react to even minor exposures. Understanding ihotoleranssi is important in fields like dermatology and occupational health, where it can influence treatment strategies and recommendations for preventing skin conditions. It's not a medical diagnosis but rather a descriptive term for an observable difference in skin reactivity.
