Varicella: generalized exanthema with juxtaposition of vesicles, papules, papulopustules, here infestation of the palms with vesicles, papules and pustules.
dermatitis, phototoxic. stage of healing. solitary, acute, localised, linear, about 30 cm long, sharply defined, initially itchy, now symptom-free, rough, slightly scaly, red plaque. appears after contact with a reed plant when bathing at the lake.
Amiodarone hyperpigmentation: grey-blue hyperpigmentation after long-term application of the preparation due to tachyarrhythmia, partly splashlike, partly flat grey-blue discolouration.
Dermatitis, phototoxic. about 48 hours old, distally (by socks) sharply bordered, severely itching, partly erythematous, partly vesicular or bullous dermatitis. the 45-year-old patient had applied a St. John's wort containing liquid to the lower leg during a picnic in the countryside because of an insect bite. the same evening the first inflammatory skin symptoms appeared.
Harlequin discoloration: Characteristically, there are strictly hemiplegic flat erythema with sharp midline demarcation on the trunk, face and genital region, and harlequin color change can occur in both healthy and otherwise diseased newborns.4
Melanonychia striata longitudinalis (course): Initial findings in 2006, control findings 3 years later; the brown longitudinal stripe, persisting since about 2004, has almost completely receded within a period of 3 years except for a discrete residual pigmentation (arrow).
Notalgia paraesthetica, general view: Infrascapular macula on the right side, measuring about 5 x 4 cm, burning, itchy, brownish macula without infiltration signs in a 63-year-old man with a secondary diagnosis of Scheuermann's disease.
naevus anaemicus: congenital, marginal irregularly dissected, white, smooth spots. no redness after rubbing the spot. on glass spatula pressure the borders to the surrounding area disappear. brown colored, intralesional melanocytic naevi (speaks against vitiligo!)
Dermatomyositis (V-sign): Characteristic cutaneous symptoms of the backs of hands and fingers, almost proving the diagnosis of "collagenosis", with reddish-livid papules arranged in stripes, which merge to form flat plaques in the area of the end phalanges. Painful nail fold keratoses with parungual erythema are sometimes seen. Such papules arranged on the stretching side are also found in SLE and mixed collagenosis, rarely once in lichen planus.
Ink spot lentigo: characteristic criteria are sharp demarcation, dark brown-black reticular lines (pigment network), which are interrupted in places within the lesion (dermatoscopic image)
