Abstract:
Pediatric psychodermatologic conditions encompass both primary dermatologic conditions with psychiatric comorbidities and primary psychiatric conditions with self-induced dermatologic manifestations. Detection, diagnosis, and management of primary psychiatric conditions with dermatologic manifestations are challenging due to patient-perceived stigma and lack of educational opportunities for dermatology providers. This two-part series highlights the most up-to-date evidence-based data and management techniques of some of the more common dermatoses of primary psychiatric conditions in children. Part I includes trichotillomania, skin picking disorder, and onychophagia, and part II covers dermatitis artefacta, body dysmorphic disorder, and delusions of parasitosis by proxy, with special considerations for family dynamics.
