An id reaction (autosensitization dermatitis) is a generalized, immunologically mediated skin response that develops secondarily as a result of a distant primary focus. It typically occurs in patients with eczema or fungal and bacterial skin infections, yet in clinical practice it is often overlooked or misdiagnosed. Successful resolution depends on adequate treatment of the primary lesion together with symptomatic management of the id reaction. We present the case of a 12-year-old patient with impetiginized contact dermatitis of the left knee following trauma, complicated by the development of an id reaction on the trunk, neck and axillary regions....

Morbus Favre-Racouchot (MFR), also known as nodular elastosis, is a chronic skin disease caused by long-term exposure to sunlight. It is characterized by the presence of comedones and cysts. This article presents a case report of a 62-year-old patient with extensive facial macrocomedones lasting for more than 40 years. Long-term treatment with topical adapalene and manual expression led to a reduction of skin lesions by more than 90%. This case demonstrates that above mentioned treatment can be very effective.

Dermatol. praxi. 2026;20(1):26-29 | DOI: 10.36290/der.2026.006
Scabies remains a relevant infectious disease with cyclic peaks in epidemics, which are currently developing even in conditions of high hygienic standards. Diagnosis is often complicated by atypical manifestations or secondary changes. Treatment should be comprehensive and include not only the patient but also their immediate surroundings, along with proper education regarding transmission methods and epidemiological measures. Early diagnosis is crucial, as long-term misdiagnosis leads to delays in treatment and an increased risk of disease transmission. The author describes a case of a patient with recurrent episodes of scabies, illustrating why despite...

Vitamins are essential dietary components necessary for the proper growth, development, and functioning of the entire organism. The importance of individual vitamins within the body is interconnected. Vitamins help maintain the balance between catabolic and anabolic processes by activating and linking different metabolic pathways. Currently, in development countries, symptoms of avitaminosis are encountered only rarely, whereas signs of certain hypovitaminoses are diagnosed much more frequently. Vitamin deficiency can manifest through various dermatological symptoms, ranging from changes in the structure and function of the epidermis to impaired healing...

Dermatol. praxi. 2025;19(4):178-184 | DOI: 10.36290/der.2025.032
There is a great variability in human skin color worldwide, from very light skin of the Celtic type (phototype I) to dark skin tones in sub-Saharan Africa (phototype V-VI). We also encounter a very wide range of different pigmentation disorders, from hypopigmentation to hyperpigmentation. In general, people, regardless of their phototype, are very often plagued by localized accumulated hyperpigmentation, which is why this issue is one of the most common reasons for consulting dermatologists. Skin hyperpigmentation causes significant psychological stress, discomfort and social stigmatization for many (it is reported in up to approximately 84% of those...

Dermatol. praxi. 2025;19(3):108-112 | DOI: 10.36290/der.2025.020
Chronic urticaria (CU) is a common and serious mast cell-mediated dermatological condition characterized by the development of pruritic wheals, angioedema, or both manifestations persisting for more than six weeks. The disease affects approximately 0,5-1% of the global population and significantly impairs patients' quality of life while generating substantial healthcare costs. Unlike acute urticaria, which typically resolves within six weeks, chronic urticaria presents specific diagnostic and therapeutic challenges requiring comprehensive understanding of its pathophysiology, classification, and management. The presented case report of alpha-gal syndrome...

MUDr. Julie Hrušová
Dermatol. praxi. 2025;19(3):102-106 | DOI: 10.36290/der.2025.019
Self-harm constitutes a complex issue that may result in enduring physical and psychological consequences. Scarring and cutaneous defects caused by recurrent self-injurious behavior can represent not only an aesthetic concern but also a significant psychological burden, potentially impacting patients' self-esteem and social functioning. Corrective dermatology offers a wide range of therapeutic approaches, which should be individually tailored based on the specific characteristics of the scar and the patient's cutaneous response, with the aim of achieving optimal clinical outcomes and supporting the patient's psychological well-being.
