Abstract
The development of guidelines is a complex process in which verified findings as well as different points of view and interests must be amalgamated into practical consent. Contact dermatitis is a very common disease that in most cases is not treated by dermatologists. Therefore a guideline for contact dermatitis must offer orientation for physicians of different specialities. For this reason the contact dermatitis guideline covers not only diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of contact dermatitis but also refers to essentials of epidemiology and pathophysiology of the disease in order to allow a better understanding. Such knowledge facilitates appropriate decisions in individual cases. The avoidance of strict algorithms emphasises the advisory function of this guideline. It was developed on S1-level by independent authors related to various working groups and it is endorsed by the German Dermatologic Society.
