Article Synopsis
  • People with skin diseases experience physical symptoms and a significant psychosocial burden due to stigmatization, impacting their mental health.
  • This systematic literature review focused on self-stigmatization in adults with specific chronic skin diseases (like psoriasis and vitiligo) and aimed to identify factors that contribute to this self-stigma for potential psychosocial interventions.
