A multidisciplinary psychocutaneous team is important in this condition particularly as the patient is likely to require psychological intervention (to facilitate the resolution of the precipitant), in addition to dermatological (to make the diagnosis and, importantly, to exclude organic disease) and psychiatric (to manage concomitant psychiatric disease) input. Our findings indicate that our model of a psychodermatology multidisciplinary team will achieve greater successful treatment of patients with DA and we are the first to describe this important service in the U.K.

Morgellons disease is a condition, which is widely discussed on the internet and patients often self-diagnose. The course of the disease can be chronic and debilitating. For a positive outcome, it is important that a strong physican-patient relationship is cultivated. As demonstrated in this case series, managing patients holistically in an integrated multidisciplinary dermatology setting helps achieve positive outcomes.
