Abstract
There is a strong known link between the mind and the skin, with studies indicating that some individuals who live with skin disorders can exhibit high levels of psychological distress. Historically, the psychological impact of skin conditions has often been disregarded by health professionals, friends, and family members. However, more recently, clinicians are becoming aware of the benefits of combining medical and psychological treatment for these patients. Within the United Kingdom, this is becoming more popular within dermatology due to a recent study that measured clinical utility and cost savings. Understanding the theory behind psychocutaneous medicine enables dermatologists to work alongside psychologists to provide holistic treatment by meeting the medical and psychological needs of our patients.
