It has been aptly noted by Samitz that the practice of occupational dermatology, in its widest sense, is a specialty within a specialty, because the physician must be something of a dermatologist, an engineer, a chemist, and an expert in labor relations, insurance regulations, and the medicolegal aspects of the problem. This is particularly true in the health care environment. So it is most valuable to bear in mind that the cause of occupational skin disease among health care workers must be sought in the medical setting. Treatment and prevention of the illness depends upon an accurate knowledge of the occupational background of the worker-patient and an effort to modify or change the causal exposure factors.
萨米茨恰当地指出，从最广泛的意义上讲，职业皮肤病学是一门专科中的专科，因为医生必须兼具皮肤科医生、工程师、化学家的特质，还要是劳动关系、保险法规以及该问题法医学方面的专家。在医疗保健环境中尤其如此。因此，务必牢记，医护人员职业性皮肤病的病因必须在医疗环境中寻找。疾病的治疗和预防取决于对患病工人职业背景的准确了解，以及努力改变或消除导致疾病的暴露因素。
