“…There is a growing knowledge about all factors that influence not only the onset, but also the course and severity of this condition, but little is still known about the coping management that may improve its symptoms. There is evidence on the significance of factors such as emotions, sleep, laughter, human interactions, mobile phones, videogames and so on, therefore it is more than relevant to emphasize the link between them and AD (91).…”

et al. 2018

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease with an incompletely understood etiopathogenesis. With a significant impact on the quality of life of patients, AD has attracted the interest of many research studies aiming to investigate the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms and to identify new therapeutic pathways. Various studies have focused on psycho-immunology, emphasizing the involvement of stress, defined as a general response of the body to external or internal challenges to the AD pathology. Factors like lifestyle and leisure activities may change the behavior of immune cells in AD with a strong impact on the evolution of the disease. Moreover, the poor adherence of AD patient to standard treatment approach has led to the necessity to combine different therapies in the field of complementary and alternative medicine. Although there are still not enough data to conclude that adjuvant therapies are effective in a conventional sense, there are already promising results suggesting that alternative therapeutic strategies could be a main subject of further research.

BackgroundSkin disease is a global public health problem that often has physiological, psychological and social impacts. However, it is not very clear how to adapt to these impacts, especially psychosocial adaptation of patients with skin disease.MethodsWe searched EMBASE, PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO from 2009 to 2018. The following themes were extracted from the included articles: the concepts, related factors, and interventions for psychosocial adaptation of patients with skin disease. Two reviewers independently screened and analyzed.ResultsFrom 2261 initial records, 69 studies were identified and analyzed. The concept of psychosocial adaptation in patients with skin disease was referred to under an assortment of descriptions. The related factors for psychosocial adaptation in patients with skin disease included the following: demographic factors (sex, age, education level, ethnicity, BMI, sleep quality, marital status, exercise amount, family history, the use of topical treatment only, personality and history of smoking); disease-related factors (disease severity, clinical symptoms, localization and duration); psychological factors (anxiety/depression, self-esteem, body image, stigma and suicidal ideation); and social factors (social support, social interaction, sexual life, economic burden and social acceptance). Despite being limited in quantity, several studies have clarified the benefits of adjuvant care in the form of cognitive behavioral training, educational training and self-help programs, all of which have become common methods for dealing with the psychosocial impacts.ConclusionsBased on the previous literatures, we constructed a protocol of care model for psychosocial adaptation in patients with skin disease. It not only provided the direction for developing new instruments that could assess psychosocial adaptation statue, but also a basis for helping patients adjust to changes in skin disease.

Non-thermal biocompatible plasma (NBP), which generates various reactive species, is being actively researched in the field of aesthetic medicine for applications such as microorganism inactivation, skin regeneration, inflammation treatment, and drug absorption. This study evaluates the effectiveness of NBP and cosmetics in treating acne-prone skin by utilizing the sterilizing and regenerative effects of plasma. The present study involves 21 adult men and women over the age of 20 who require acne treatment. Participants use NBP and cosmetics after washing their faces in the morning and evening for six weeks. After six weeks, the global acne grading system scores show a 26.91 % reduction in acne severity and a 25.11 % reduction in sebum levels. The results confirm that NBP is effective in improving acne and reducing sebum. No adverse skin reactions are observed during the study period. Notably, NBP applies floating electrode-dielectric barrier discharge technology, which promotes the removal of acne-causing bacteria and skin regeneration. This study suggests that NBP is an effective method for acne treatment.
