INTRODUCTION: The Brazilian scientific production in Dermatology in the international scenario was verified by scientometrics (Sociology segment on quantitative aspects of science).
OBJECTIVE: The insertion of Brazil in the international scientific production scenario can and should be conducted from a more strategic perspective, and it is necessary to observe the production of documents indexed in Scopus in the Dermatology area and related topics in a more detailed way.

RESULTS: It was possible to analyze and point out the most prominent dermatoses currently in the literature and the related authors, compare Brazilian data with those from other countries that stand out in the scientific literature in Dermatology, and elaborate and justify effective strategies for the international insertion of Brazilian Dermatology scientific production.
