“…Previous studies utilizing FDLQI also showed the effect of acne on family of patients. 10,11 Duman et al, also showed the decrease in FDLQI scores after treatment confirming the effect of acne on family QoL. 10 While there was no correlation between DeFIS scores and acne severity and the average DeFIS scores weren't statistically different among different acne severity groups, a statistically significant correlation was found between AQoL and DeFIS scores and our results are in line with previous studies.…”

“…9 Although there are many studies on the effects of acne on QoL, there are only a few studies regarding the QoL of families of patients with acne. 10,11 Neverthless, past research examining the QoL of families of acne patients have not particularly examined the adolescent age group of acne patients. In this study, we planned to evaluate the physical, social and mental problems of family members of adolescents with acne.…”

Acne vulgaris, which affects 85% of adolescents and young adults, is a multifactorial inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous unit. 1 Acne vulgaris, while it seems to be a negligible disease, mainly causing cosmetic complaints, can have a large psychosocial effect, with permanent psychological sequelae. Acne may have drastic consequences including so-cial isolation, body image disturbance, and in some cases, suicidal tendencies. These psychological problems are not always linked to acne severity and the psychosocial effect of acne should be assessed in all patients. 2 The effect of acne on the quality of life (QoL) has been the subject of many studies using both general and acne-specific tests.

“…Despite the impact of CSU on patients’ quality of life having been addressed in previous studies [ 13 , 14 ], there is still a lack of evidence on the impact that CSU can have on those living with patients. Similar to what has already been shown to occur in other skin diseases such as acne [ 15 ], psoriasis [ 16 ] and hidradenitis suppurativa [ 17 ], the patient’s symptomatology, decreased quality of life, higher rates of anxiety and depression and sexual dysfunction could result in a negative impact on cohabitants. This could include a poorer quality of life for cohabitants, mood disorders, sexual dysfunction, sleep disturbances or personality disorders.…”

Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) has been associated with patients’ poor quality of life. Despite being a chronic disease that could alter the quality of life of the people who live with patients, the potential burden on their cohabitants has not been studied to date. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the patient’s quality of life, disease control, disease duration and family quality of life and the cohabitant’s mood disturbances, sexual dysfunction, type D personality and sleep quality. A cross-sectional study including patients suffering from CSU and their cohabitants was performed. Sociodemographic variables and disease activity, quality of life, sleep, sexual disfunction, anxiety, depression and type D personality were collected using validated questionnaires. Sixty-two subjects, 31 CSU patients and 31 cohabitants, were included in the study. Worse disease control and poorer quality of life in patients were associated with poorer family quality of life and higher rates of anxiety among the cohabitants (p < 0.05). Patients’ poor quality of life was associated with reduced sexual satisfaction among the cohabitants (p < 0.05). Long disease duration (>10 years) was associated with an increased prevalence of type D personality among the cohabitants (prevalence ratio: 2.59, CI 95% 1.03–7.21). CSU seems to have an impact on the quality of life of cohabitants, especially in terms of increased rates of anxiety, poorer quality of life and reduced sexual satisfaction. The prolonged course of the disease could be associated with the increased presence of non-adaptative personality traits.

“…Acne and alopecia were scored with the lowest rate quality of life impairment. Acne patients scored a media of 7.56 points in the DLQI and their cohabitants a media of 6.46 in the FDLQ [68]I. This could be explained because it is a disease that usually happens in adolescent and it is temporary [65].…”

Health evaluation implies assess multidimensional aspects of a person’s development, such as physical, social, psychological, and emotional features. It is important to consider all these factors to apply a needs-oriented each patient approach. Chronic skin diseases have a great impact on quality of life, even more than other chronic conditions. For example, hidradenitis suppurativa is estimated to impair quality of life more than cardiovascular disease, lung disease or endocrine diseases. Multiple tools have been developed to measure health-related quality of life in patient, being the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) the most used. Psoriasis, hidradenitis suppurativa, acne, atopic dermatitis and hair disorders are those with the greatest impact on patients’ quality of life. Moreover, chronic skin conditions impair not only patients’ quality of life, but also cohabitants. Nevertheless, there is scarce information regarding the impact on their cohabitants. So, the objective of this chapter is to review the literature to assess the psychological and social effects of dermatological conditions both on patients and cohabitants.
