Abstract

Introduction: A large number of dermatoses occur secondarily, the primary cause being of a psychogenic nature. It is important for the dermatologist to be able to distinguish between these conditions and thus to provide adequate therapy for the patient.

Factors that lead to the appearance of psychocutaneous problems in children: Two factors that influence the appearance of psychodermatological problems are the existence of a genetic predisposition for emotional instability, and previously experienced trauma.s

Conclusion: Skin diseases whose basis lies in psychological problems are very often misdiagnosed. Key to the diagnosis is a good relationship with the family and a well-taken history. If a child visits a dermatologist more often with the same or different dermatoses that are prolonged or refractory to therapy, we must always think of the possibility of the existence of another pathology at the basis of the disease.
