Nummular eczema is quite frequent in paediatric practice. Diagnostics and differential diagnostics can be challenging. Differential diagnosis is presented in a tabular overview. Right chosen and properly done treatment as well as appropriate and regular skin care are prerequisites for treatment success. Emollients are the basic drugs for restoring and maintaining skin barrier function. Topical corticosteroids of moderate strenght with good therapeutic index are the main anti-inflammatory drugs. The way, how these topicals are used, is for the result of therapy as important as the correct choice of drug, therefore the strategies and regimens of their use in practice are briefly discussed.

Keywords: nummular eczema in children, differential diagnosis, treatment strategy.
