Following the amendment to the Occupational Diseases Order (Berufskrankheitenverordnung) with effect as of Jan. 1, 1977, the number of occupational skin diseases acknowledged is expected to increase. Knowledge of the pre-requisites in terms of insurance law regarding the acknowledgement of an occupational disease subject to payment of compensation places early detection and preventive measures in another light. The acknowledgement procedure and dermatological early-diagnosis procedure are explained in detail.
Fiddler's neck is a dermatosis of violinists and violists. It characteristically presents as focal lichenification and pigmentation on the left side of the neck. Edema may also occur in the same area and lead to cosmetic concern or fear of malignancy. The edema apparently results from pressure on the patient's neck by the base of the violin or viola and is worsened by holding the instrument in a drooping position.
