A retrospective case series of referrals to our psychodermatology clinic 2009-2016

Abstract

Psychodermatology is a relatively new subspecialty exploring the interaction between skin and the mind. Managing patients in this cohort can be challenging1,2,3. The aetiology of psychocutaneous disease is often complex, ranging from solely functional skin-directed symptoms (psychogenic pruritis), to thought disorders manifesting in a cutaneous fashion (delusional parasitosis), to factitious disorders with cutaneous consequences (e.g. dermatitis artefacta). In addition, purely psychiatric conditions (i.e. substance misuse, depression or obsessive compulsive disorder), may occur alongside dermatological disease, further complicating successful management.
