Occupational dermatitis are very frequent with important social and economic implications. Detection of an occupational factor must be systematic because it may require prevention and a compensation may be due to the patient. The general practitioner will be assisted either by the occupational physician or by specialised services to help the patient to take the necessary administrative steps.

The irritational disposition of the skin was studied in a control group of 12 healthy persons, 8 patients with neurodermitis, 11 hairdressers with occupational dermatitis and 11 nurses with occupational dermatitis by using the Duhring-chamber-scarification test. For comparison, the alkali resistance test was also carried out. The results show that with the alkali resistance test the irritational disposition towards tensides may not be judged. The present findings show that the increased irritational disposition toward detergent substances seems to be a constitutional factor which favors the development of occupational dermatitis in hairdressing and nursing jobs; with the patient suffering from atopic dermatitis, one must presume an increased irritational disposition towards tensides in most cases.
Numerous issues concerning occupational dermatitis are covered, including age and gender of workers it affects, its anatomic location, and length of time a single eruption lasts. Extensive tables show the results of patch testing in various populations.

Occupational dermatitis is a very frequent subject of consultation, as much in general practice as in dermatology. The most frequently found pathologies are linked to environmental factors. In these cases, irritant dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis represent the majority of the cutaneous problems. Rigorous history taking associated with an attentive examination and a few investigations, essentially consisting of skin testing, form an incontestable tripod. The therapeutic approach, as much preventative as curative, can only be envisaged after having made a precise diagnosis, of which the conclusions should be pertinent and adapted to each patient presenting in consultation. In occupational disease, the distinction between irritant dermatitis and allergic contact dermatitis is primordial.
