Abstract
In this chapter, we have discussed various dermatoses specific to certain environments. Many of these environmental dermatoses are only diagnosed after taking a thorough history, as their presentation can be similar to other more common conditions. It is important for physicians to consider the role of the environment in the development of dermatoses, as managment may differ depending on the cause of a patient’s condition. Patients may be unaware of the role that the environment or their practices play in the development of their dermatologic conditions. It is important for the physician to work with the patient to develop the best treatment plan for that individual patient.
