Article Synopsis
- A study examined the emotional and skin-related symptoms in five patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma undergoing glucocorticoid treatment, finding that emotional disturbances often accompany this therapy.
- Results showed that as treatment progressed, positive emotions declined, leading to increased irritation and itchy skin the following day.
- The findings suggest that reduced positive emotions at the end of glucocorticoid treatment may be linked to lower energy and motivation, potentially worsening skin-related issues.
