[Work-related diseases of the skin].
Work-related diseases of the skin are aetiologically completely different diseases. The common denominator is that they are all triggered by occupational activity. Allergic and cumulative irritant contact eczema occur the most frequently. Early reporting of occupational dermatosis to the accident insurance carrier should first and foremost lead to adequate preventive measures at the workplace. Early recognition, systematic therapy and rapidly implemented prevention should enable the affected person to continue to work in his or her occupation. To implement appropriate preventive measures, the collaboration of the family physician, dermatologists, company doctor and accident insurance carrier is desired.
