“…Strong relationships with parents are linked to positive development and psychological functioning for men and women in emerging adulthood (Van Wel et al, 2000). Our results revealed a form of communal coping (Anthis, 2005) where participants and families were jointly involved in coping with the acne. However, on very bad days, families were excluded, as articulated by Participant 8 when she said ‘even my family … I don’t let them see me’.…”

Many emerging adults live with mild-to-moderate visible facial acne, but little is known about their experiences. A qualitative interview study was conducted with 11 adults aged 18-22 years, which aimed to explore the meaning of living with visible acne. A thematic analysis revealed three superordinate themes: coping strategies, self-perceptions and interpersonal relationships. Results revealed the utility of researching visible acne in emerging adulthood, including the use of multiple coping strategies. Health psychologists need to consider individual differences for young adults who are living with a visible difference. The importance of the peer group and family is also explicated.

“…Skin is the most visible organ of the body, especially the uncovered areas like head, neck, hands, and feet, and any lesions appearing in these areas might stigmatize the patients, especially when it is topped up by negative reactions from society [ 38 , 39 ]. Although psoriasis patients generally feel underconfident and ashamed, these feelings are worse when it comes to their sexual relationships [ 40 ]. Patients start to dislike their physical appearances and feel that others see them the way they see themselves [ 41 ].…”

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin with multiple comorbidities, depression being one of them. Psoriasis affects the personal, social, and sexual lives of the patients resulting in psychological strain. Psoriasis and depression amplify each other. Supporting evidence has proven multiple common mechanisms between the two diseases: inflammatory overlap, genetic evidence, low vitamin D3, and melatonin levels are common in both psoriasis and depression. Fear of social rejection and self-stigmatization act as a fuel to fire inflaming depression in psoriatic patients. The study explains the link between psoriasis and depression and their effects on quality of life. There is a need to highlight the importance of addressing the psychological effects of psoriasis along with its physical aspects for better treatment outcomes.

“…Major depressive disorder, obsessive‐compulsive disorder and psychosis, among others are the main pathologies that the dermatologist frequently encounter in the in their practice. Some authors believe that this could be a repercussion of psychological factors and call it a shame, the “dermatological shame” that is transferred to skin in primary psychiatric disorders 9 …”

The role of psychotropic drugs in psychodermatology is still debatable, due to the quality of the evidence that supports it. There are several case reports and open trials with variable results. There is an additional difficulty in finding therapists trained in effective psychotherapy techniques, justify the need for more research on the available pharmacological options. The present review emphasizes pharmacological treatment in psychodermatology, specifically in cases of primary psychiatric disorders that are expressed with self‐inflicted cutaneous signs and symptoms, in which drugs can play a central role in ameliorating symptoms or be useful in combination with psychotherapeutic approach of these disorders.
