What are the most common settings for an id reaction and how should you treat it?

Stasis dermatitis, scabies, and dermatophyte infections (Fig. 8-5) are the most common settings. The distant lesions often take on the characteristics of the primary cutaneous lesions. The cure lies in treating the primary lesion because, by definition, an id reaction resolves when the primary dermatitis departs. Many id reactions require symptomatic treatment with antipruritics, wet-to-dry soaks, and topical corticosteroids. Often, systemic corticosteroids are necessary to bring relief.
