Occupational contact psoriasis.
Occupational psoriasis accounts for about 1.2% of all cutaneous pathologic conditions due to work. It is especially important for subjects with slight signs of psoriasis, since patients already suffering from clear illness spontaneously avoid traumatic activities. Our interest was directed to cutaneous symptoms, signs for identifying subjects predisposed to traumatic dermatitis, also useful in vocational guidance. The necessity of official acknowledgement of such work-related dermatological pathologies is suggested.
