What is the purpose of this research study?
The British Skin Foundation and the Skin Health Alliance have teamed up with 13 leading skin organisations to find out more about the psychological effects that skin disease has on patients in the UK.
Psychodermatology focuses on the link between skin and mind. Sometimes skin conditions, particularly those that are visible, can have a profound effect on mental health in addition to the physical symptoms caused. The field of psychodermatology can help people learn to manage these psychological effects with types of therapy.
