Occupational dermatoses are not only a health issue but also an economic issue, and economic losses because of them can be huge. It should be noted that occupational dermatoses are a serious problem, and the number of occupational dermatoses may be underreported worldwide. The rate of occupational dermatoses has been reported to account for 20-30% of all occupational diseases [1,2]. Diepgen found that 50-190 out of 100,000 workers develop occupational contact dermatitis [3], and another study reports that 23,596 of 71,263 occupational diseases were classified as occupational skin diseases [4]. In Greece, 39.9% of employees (4000 workers, 20 types of enterprise, 104 companies) were found to suffer from occupational dermatitis, and there was no statistically significant correlation between gender and prevalence of occupational dermatoses [5]. It is interesting, however, that reports of occupational dermatoses are rare in Brazil because of workers’ fear of losing their jobs and salaries [6].

Cutaneous vascular abnormalities are a feature of many syndromes with multisystemic involvement. The most common associations are hypertrophy of underlying soft tissue and bone, as in the Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber and Sturge-Weber syndromes, visceral vascular lesions with hemorrhage, as in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia and blue rubber bleb nevus syndrome, and neurologic alterations, as in Fabry's disease, ataxia-telangiectasia, and the Sturge-Weber syndrome.

Cutaneous pigment responses to ultraviolet radiation are outlined in this article. The responses induced by different wavebands are compared, and the protection against further exposure that is conferred by different types of tanning is discussed. The term "tanning" is used here to denote the spectrum of adaptive changes in the skin resulting from ultraviolet exposure and is not applied exclusively to increased melanin pigmentation.

Body dysmorphic disorder is a relatively common psychiatric disorder among the dermatology patient population. These individuals may present to dermatologists for treatment of normal or minimally abnormal skin findings. Recognizing that these patients have body dysmorphic disorder can avert unnecessary and potentially unsuccessful treatments. Understanding and directing patients toward appropriate treatment options can minimize the distress and morbidities associated with the disorder.

Although a specific etiology remains undetermined, most evidence points to an autoimmune pathogenesis for alopecia areata. Treatments for alopecia areata are likely to remain palliative until its etiology is better understood. Even it prolonged remissions cannot always be achieved with the treatments presently available, preservation of hair regrowth with maintenance therapy is a reasonable goal. When this is not possible, the value of supportive interaction with patient and family should not be minimized, as the psychologic effects of the disease can be great. Support groups such as those sponsored by the Alopecia Areata Foundation cna assist the physician in this endeavor.

Lyme borreliosis is a cutaneous-systemic infection that is generally transmitted by a hard-bodied tick and caused by some species of Borrelia, Borrelia burgdorferi (sensu stricto), B. garini, and B. afzelii. Lyme borreliosis is a widespread disease, present in all continents. It can be divided into an early disease, corresponding to the primary stage, and a late disease, including the secondary and tertiary stages. The typical cutaneous lesions are erythema (chronicum) migrans, lymphadenosis benigna cutis, and acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans. The course of Lyme borreliosis depends on the timeliness of both diagnosis and antibiotic treatment.
