The association between geographic and medical aspects is a well-known phenomenon, which also occurs in dermatological research. This article reviews the field of health geography, the history of the association between spatial location and health, and focuses on current areas of research. Research focusing on explaining regional variations in health refer to individual aspects and needs, population factors, environmental factors, and health care delivery structures in specific regions, as well as the interaction between them. Regional healthcare research is primarily concerned with access to health services and on the utilisation of those services. Methodologically, the analysis of geodata and the application of geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial modelling play a major role in this field. Dermatological research and dermatological practice can benefit from the findings of the regional analysis of access, utilisation, and variations in order to obtain a more detailed picture of care and thus to optimise care.
地理与医学方面的关联是一个众所周知的现象，在皮肤病学研究中也会出现。本文回顾了健康地理学领域、空间位置与健康之间关联的历史，并重点关注当前的研究领域。专注于解释健康方面区域差异的研究涉及个体层面和需求、人口因素、环境因素、特定区域的医疗保健提供结构以及它们之间的相互作用。区域医疗保健研究主要关注医疗服务的可及性以及这些服务的利用情况。在方法上，地理数据的分析以及地理信息系统（GIS）和空间建模的应用在该领域发挥着重要作用。皮肤病学研究和皮肤病学实践可以从可及性、利用情况和差异的区域分析结果中受益，以便更详细地了解护理情况从而优化护理。
