6. Exposure to cutting fluids:

When the skin is exposed to various kinds of cutting fluids such as neat cutting oil, it can lead to the inflammation of the hair follicles causing folliculitis. Cutting fluids are insoluble coolants and lubricants that are used for reducing friction between metal parts in machinery and other metalwork processes. Road workers, mechanics, refinery workers, and machinists commonly make use of such fluids in their work, and if their skin comes into contact with these cutting fluids, it can cause folliculitis. There are certain personal care and makeup products that contain such oils too.
