Dermatologists frequently encounter obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) involving the skin, termed dermo-OCD (DOCD). Many cases are overlooked, highlighting the need for better recognition and management of these conditions in dermatology.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) were historically underestimated in prevalence and treatability.
  • Recognition of OCD has evolved, with increasing awareness of their frequent occurrence and therapeutic responsiveness.

Observation:

  • A significant subset of OCD cases manifest dermatologically, termed dermo-OCD (DOCD).
  • Dermatologists frequently observe patients with DOCD, yet these conditions are underreported in dermatological literature.
  • Existing literature predominantly features contributions from American authors.

Findings:

  • Many obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD) are encountered by dermatologists.
  • Not all dermatologically relevant OCD cases are currently identified as dermo-OCD (DOCD).

Implications:

  • Enhanced diagnostic awareness of DOCD among dermatologists is crucial.
  • Improved recognition can lead to more timely and effective patient treatment.
  • Further research and reporting in dermatological literature are needed to fully understand DOCD prevalence and characteristics.
