Career
Hebra began his career as a medical student at the University of Vienna, where he later became a professor. He was instrumental in establishing dermatology as a separate and distinct medical discipline. Hebra is best known for his work on skin diseases, particularly ichthyosis, pemphigus, and leprosy. He also described and named numerous skin disorders, including Hebra's disease and Hebra's prurigo, both named after him.
Contributions to Dermatology
Hebra's most significant contribution to dermatology was his detailed classification and description of skin diseases. He was the first to distinguish between different types of skin diseases based on their appearance, rather than their cause. This approach revolutionized the field of dermatology and is still used today.
