Occupational skin diseases of the feet. 1987

T M DeLauro

Although dermatoses account for the vast majority of occupational disease, the role played by foot disorders is uncharted. Often, protective footgear has an etiologic rather than a therapeutic effect. The environmental, chemical, physical, and biologic causes of pedal skin disease in the workplace are described, with emphasis on the need for their recognition and control.
