Abstract
The skin is responsible for protecting internal organs from noxious substances, including toxic chemicals, ultraviolet radiation and repeated exposure to water. It is an important interface between man and environment and is a portal of entry for different hazardous agents. Environmental stressors refer to biological, physical and chemical constraints on the productivity of species and on the development of ecosystems. Everyday life is full of environmental stressors that can cause skin diseases. This chapter presents the interesting and complex correlation between stress, environment and skin diseases.
