Skin is an organ that has a primary function in tactile receptivity and reacts directly upon emotional stimuli. Dermatological practice involves a psychosomatic dimension. A relationship between psychological factors and skin diseases has long been hypothesized. Psychodermatology addresses the interaction between mind and skin. It is divided into three categories according to the relationship between skin diseases and mental disorders. This article reviews different dermatological conditions under each of the three categories namely psychosomatic disorders, dermatological conditions due to primary and secondary psychiatric disorders. Dermatological conditions resulting from psychiatric conditions like stress/depression and those caused by psychiatric disorders are discussed. This review intends to present the relationship between the ‘skin’ and the ‘mind’ specifically from the dermatology point of view. The effects on the quality of life as a result of psychodermatological conditions are highlighted. A multidisciplinary approach for treatment from both dermatologic and psychiatric viewpoints are suggested.

“…The shame is based on the interpersonal view and fear of visual exposure can lead to avoidance of the public i.e., social phobia. Often, patients with BDD suffer from comorbidity [Cotterill, 1996;Phillips, 1996;Stangier and Gieler, 1997], in particular affective disorders including negative beliefs and depressive worrying, obsessive-compulsive disorders and social phobia as well as delusional disorder of distorted body functions [Koblenzer, 1985]. Obsessive-compulsive disorders are not limited to obsessive thoughts about personal appearance since compulsive actions can also be observed.…”

The body dysmorphic disorder is classified as a somatoform disorder. The repeated preoccupation with a minimal or non-evident defect includes a wide spectrum of imagined defects in appearance. The patients are mainly concerned about the appearance of the face, chest and genital area. These patients present at every clinical practice and are extraordinarily difficult to treat. Following the introduction of the new ‘lifestyle’ drugs we observed a dramatic increase in the number of patients suffering from body dysmorphic disorder attending our clinic for skin diseases in Erfurt. These patients frequently contact their doctor specifically demanding the prescription of a particular lifestyle drug. However, there is no indication for using lifestyle drugs for the treatment of a body dysmorphic disorder. The appropriate treatment includes psychotherapy and psychopharmacological treatment.
