Psoriasis is a constitutional disease, but may be triggered by occupational factors. The frequency of occupationally triggered Psoriasis in patients with occupational skin diseases has been reported to be between 1.2% and 6.5%. In addition to adequate therapy, special skin protection measures, such as anti-impaction gloves and the avoidance of irritant and mechanical influences are pivotal in terms of adequate prevention.
