Staff members of these institutions, particularly those providing nursing or caregiving services, are also at increased risk of infection. Family members of clients and staff are likewise more vulnerable. According to the 2017 European recommendation, basic scabies therapy includes the application of 5% permethrin cream, or oral administration of ivermectin, or the use of 25% benzyl benzoate lotion.

MUDr. Lucia Mansfeldová

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...
