Abstract

Diseases of the skin are the cause of approximately one fifth of outpatient visits to general practitioners (GPs) in Germany. GPs are expected to be competent in both knowledge and skills required to manage dermatological diseases, but making the correct diagnosis can be challenging facing the broad clinical spectrum of dermatological disorders. Knowledge of morphological characteristics is essential in the accurate diagnosis of a dermatological condition and to ensure optimal patient care. The objective of this dossier is to provide an overview of common dermatological diseases in daily routine, with a focus on acute and chronic-inflammatory dermatoses. The most important dermatological diseases were sorted by three anatomic regions (face, trunk and lower leg), and an overview on the respective differential diagnoses is provided.

Ungefähr jeder fünfte Patient stellt sich in Deutschland mit einer Hauterkrankung bei einem Allgemeinmediziner vor. Kann dieser aber immer mit der korrekten Diagnose aufwarten, zumal das klinische Spektrum der Dermatologie sehr breit gefächert ist? Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die typischen Charakteristika der häufigsten akuten und chronisch-entzündlichen Dermatosen von Gesicht, Körperstamm und Unterschenkeln.
