In addition to the cosmopolitan skin diseases, dermatoses linked specifically to the geoclimatic and socio-economic conditions prevailing in the tropics. To correctly diagnose such dermatological lesions, knowledge of the respective geographic aspects and tropical medicine is a must. An unusual climate and contact with microorganisms, parasites and insects not normally encountered can result in a specific spectrum of skin problems in persons who spend time in tropical regions.
