Occupacional Dermatoses Consultation

At Clínica de Dermatologia Prof.ª Sofia Magina, the responsible dermatologist for the Professional Dermatoses Consultation is Dr. Ana Paula Cunha, who specializes in Professional Dermatoses, Cutaneous Allergy, and Contact Dermatitis. These branches of dermatology focus on the study of skin diseases caused by occupational factors and the identification of the causes of contact eczema and their impact on the patient's life.

​

During the Professional Dermatoses Consultation, we conduct a comprehensive clinical assessment of the skin and its appendages, as well as perform Allergy Tests.

 

The patch tests we perform are the only objective method to determine the cause of allergic or irritant contact dermatitis.

 

We can identify allergens related to your professional activities (occupational dermatoses) during this consultation.

 

Only through specialized consultation can we identify the cause of the allergy, avoid contact with the allergen, and resolve the problem.

 

In the Professional Dermatoses Consultation, we assess the relationship between the skin condition and your work activities, as well as occupational allergies, which may require referral with a medical report for further evaluation and guidance from your occupational physician. A comprehensive skin evaluation is essential since dermatological issues are among the leading causes of occupational diseases, and only a thorough assessment allows us to establish a causal link and resolve the condition.
