The Effect on the Skin of Emotional and Nervous States

Tryptophan, an important link in regulating the complex network of skin immunology response in atopic dermatitis

“…It is reported that the imbalance in the diversity and composition of GM could lead to negative changes in intestinal microbial metabolism and immune response, such as affecting the host’s intestinal immune environment and barrier function, disrupting mucosal immune tolerance, and increasing the vulnerability of the host ( 82 , 83 ). Actually, the connection between GM and skin inflammation was discovered as early as the 1930s ( 84 ). Up to now, numerous studies have revealed that the development of allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and AD is closely associated with GM disturbance ( 85 – 91 ).…”

Pancreatic Exocrine Function in Rosacea

“…Many agents have been suggested as responsible or exacerbating factors, such as nervous and psychosomatic disorders, focal bacterial infec tions, high consumption of tea, coffee, alcohol or spices, menstrual disor ders, carbohydrate intolerance, food allergy [Stokes and Beerman, 1932]. Inasmuch as some rosacea patients complain of vague gastrointestinal troubles, several functional and morphological investigations on the func tion and morphology of the stomach and small bowel have been carried out, but with inconclusive and contradictory results [Brown, 1925;Eastwood, 1928;Usher, 1941;Fry and Swann, 1968;Marks and Shuster, 1970].…”

Psychogenic Factors in Dermatitis and Their Treatment by Group Therapy

“…At the end of this period he became capable of achieving sexual orgasm, and immediately afterwards his dermatitis rapidly improved, only for the cycle to be repeated. The literature is full of similar cases (Stokes, 1930;Gillespie, 1938;Miller, 1942). In all thecases, as treatment progressed, improvement of symptoms was paralleled by an increase in the capacity for normal sexual gratification, which, however, still left much to be desired.…”

“…(I) The erogenous role of the skin is evident in three cases described by Stokes (1930), in which itchingand dermatitis were theexpressionofa sadomasochistic conflict, these symptoms playing the part of a masturbatory equivalent. For example, one male patient, when sexually stimulated under conditions where intercourse was impossible, had a terrific attack of itching which only passed off after severe pleasurable scratching had finally resulted in a feeling of relief similar to that occurring after orgasm.…”
