This paper contains a case report describing a 44-year old career soldier, a veteran of six deployments outside of Poland (Lebanon, Kosovo, twice in Iraq and twice in Afghanistan). During his latest deployment he developed some lesions on his hands and feet in the form of skin cracks and exfoliation. Fluid was seeping from these areas and they were causing acute pain resulting in a complete inability to perform everyday activities. The patient was treated during his deployment and a slight improvement in symptoms occurred. After returning to Poland he was hospitalized twice in the Department of Dermatology of the Military Institute of Medicine because of worsened skin symptoms (seeping cracks, epidermis exfoliation, finger contractures, and acute pain preventing normal functioning). The diagnosis revealed contact dermatisis. The applied symptomatic treatment resulted in only temporary improvement followed by a recurrence of the symptoms. After a psychiatric consultation a possibility of a psychogenic basis of the lesions was identified. The patient was admitted to the Department of Psychiatry and Combat Stress of the Military Institute of Medicine (DP&CS), where the examination showed a comorbidity of PTSD symptoms and the lesions. An experiment using Virtual Reality (VR) has clearly displayed the occurrence of skin reactions while the patient was exposed to war scenes. The outcome of the medication and individual applied psychotherapy reduced the lesions to a level allowing for normal everyday functioning of the patient and the longest achieved remission of the lesions to-date.
