Area of Science:
- Occupational medicine
- Dermatology
- Public health
Background:
- Dermatoses are frequent diseases linked to working conditions.
- Under-reporting of occupational skin diseases is a significant issue.
- Management of work-related or aggravated dermatoses can be improved.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present common occupational dermatoses.
- To outline a multidisciplinary diagnostic approach.
- To propose a screening tool for occupational exposures.
Main Methods:
- Literature review of common occupational dermatoses.
- Description of a multidisciplinary diagnostic strategy.
- Development of a screening questionnaire for occupational exposures.
Main Results:
- Identification of prevalent occupational skin conditions.
- Framework for systematic diagnosis of work-related skin issues.
