Abstract
Australian physicians may encounter a number of tropical skin diseases. Migrants or visitors may travel here with a skin disease, or people living in the tropical or subtropical regions of Australia may develop skin conditions. The most important of these are cutaneous leishmaniasis, cutaneous amoebiasis, tinea imbricata, favus, sporotrichosis, chromomycosis, cutaneous tuberculosis, Buruli ulcer, cutaneous larva migrans and dracontiasis.
