Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychology
  • Neuroimmunology

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease with significant psychological distress and life impact.
  • The profound effects of psoriasis extend beyond the skin and are frequently under-recognized and undertreated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the link between psychological distress and psoriasis, including the brain-skin axis.
  • To review pharmacological and psychological interventions for psoriasis-related distress.
  • To discuss the life impact of psoriasis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of peer-reviewed journals and controlled trials.
  • Exploration of the brain-skin axis in relation to psoriasis.
  • Analysis of interventions for psychological distress in psoriasis.

Main Results:

  • Psoriasis profoundly impacts mental health and well-being, often under-recognized by clinicians.
  • The sympathetic adrenal medullary and hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axes may be involved in psoriasis onset.
  • Psoriasis can be stigmatizing, affecting relationships, employment, and social life; psychological interventions show some effectiveness but require more high-quality research.

Conclusions:

  • Psoriasis-related distress and life impact are under-recognized and require routine screening and effective treatment.
  • High-quality studies are needed to evaluate psychological interventions for psoriasis.
  • Improved access to psychological support services is essential for patients with psoriasis.
