Article Synopsis
- - Dermatologists often encounter patients with inflammatory skin conditions and related psychological issues, but many lack formal training to address these concerns holistically.
- - Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD), a psychiatric condition that leads to excessive worry about minor or nonexistent flaws in appearance, is prevalent among dermatology patients, particularly those with chronic skin conditions like acne.
- - Adolescents are especially at risk for BDD due to high rates of acne and the influence of social media, which can amplify body image dissatisfaction; therefore, dermatologists should use screening tools and collaborate with mental health professionals for optimal patient care.
Background: The contribution of psychological disorders to the burden of skin disease has been poorly explored in adolescent patients. The review aims to provide insights into the psychological, social, occupational, and social medias' association with acne, atopic dermatitis (AD), and aesthetics in adolescent patients.
Methods: The project used a modified Delphi process comprising face-to-face discussions followed up online.
