Abstract
Occupational hand dermatoses involve several mechanisms: irritation dermatitis (from usage or caustic agents) and allergic contact dermatitis are the direct consequence of the individual's work on his skin; they are often mixed. Dyshidrosis and pulpitis can be associated with contact at work whereas other dermatoses are made worse or modified by work (atopic eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus and palmar keratotic dermatitis). Finally, certain diseases mimic occupational dermatitis (for example, Tinea manum). The physician should therefore carefully analyse the patient's symptoms in order to employ the appropriate management.
