“…Individuals with anxiety tend to itch over time and this has implications for the therapeutic approach (97). Symptoms of obsessive compulsive disorder can manifest with CP, as seen in patients with skin picking (98,99). "Scalp itch" is often a symptom of depression or a precursor to psychosis.…”

“…Although some researchers believe that the etiologies and main causes of the skin-picking disorder are unclear (22), paying attention to causes together with finding the best method to treat this disorder in childhood is essential since the skin-picking disorder is among disorders that last until adolescence and even adulthood. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is the first step in the treatment of the skin-picking disorder and, if necessary, it can be useful in the second step of the treatment (23,24). Moreover, given that the skin-picking disorder is a subclass of OCD, trying to treat OCD is a proper way to deal with its underlying disorders, including the skin-picking disorder.…”

Background: Devoting a chapter in the DSM-5 to the obsessive-compulsive disorder and the correlation of this disorder with a wide range of related disorders, including skin picking, suggest the importance of carrying out studies to investigate this disorder among children and adolescents. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate this relationship and determine the role of obsessive-compulsive disorder in predicting the skin-picking disorder among primary school children. Methods: This descriptive study followed by a correlational-predictive design. The current study had a statistical population including all first-grade to fifth-grade primary school students aged 7 to 11 years old who were studying in both districts of Zahedan. A multistage cluster sampling method was used and 381 questionnaires were distributed to boy and girl students. The data collection tools were Foa et al. obsessive-compulsive inventory-child version (OCI-CV; 2010) and skin-picking reward scale (2015). Results: The results of a Pearson correlation coefficient indicated that the subscales of obsessive-compulsive disorder significantly and directly related to the skin-picking disorder at a 99% confidence level. Moreover, the results obtained from a stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that obsessive thoughts predicted 0.05 of the variance of the skin-picking disorder among the children. Conclusions: The obsessive thoughts are among the main causes of the incidence of the skin-picking disorder among children and adolescents.

“…35,36 The diff erent results between auto-reported and medical report suggest that many factors in each region could aff ect the validity of knowledge of the disease, the sociocultural characteristics of the population, dermatitis defi nition used, the prevalence of other skin conditions and other factors. 37 In tropical areas, one of the most highlight results of ISAAC phase 3 was the increasing prevalence of dermatitis compared with phase 1 and the high prevalence of dermatitis in Latin America countries. The higher frequency of current dermatitis among children 6 to 7 year-olds was observed in Barranquilla, Colombia with 24%.…”

En diversos análisis epidemiológicos —especialmente en aquellos realizados en regiones del trópico— se ha observado notable aumento en la prevalencia de la dermatitis atópica. El estudio internacional más extendido que evalúa la epidemiología de la dermatitis es el estudio ISAAC, que examinó la prevalencia de las enfermedades atópicas más prevalentes en la infancia en casi 200 centros en más de 50 países del mundo. De acuerdo con este estudio, la prevalencia de dermatitis en países tropicales, especialmente de América Latina, fue mayor en comparación con otras regiones, con una moda de 15 %. Esta mayor prevalencia entre poblaciones que utilizan la misma encuesta sugiere que algunos factores genéticos y ambientales tienen un efecto importante en el desarrollo de la dermatitis. Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta que las encuestas fueron completadas por los participantes, es posible que existiera sesgo e identificación errónea de la enfermedad por parte del individuo, por lo que es necesario realizar estudios comparativos con los estudios de cohorte de la región para determinar si son clínicamente relevantes o no. En este artículo comparamos la prevalencia de dermatitis reportada por el estudio ISAAC en países tropicales y algunos estudios en la región que utilizaron otros métodos diagnósticos.
