Abstract
The astute clinician must consider common ailments that occur independently of travel and diagnoses resulting from exotic exposures. Most causes of travel-related skin conditions can be sorted by obtaining a careful history of the patients' pretravel medical conditions and preparations for the journey, and their activities and possible exposures during the trip. Skin disorders also may be grouped by description of the lesions, thereby directing the clinician's diagnostic efforts.
