BACKGROUND: RELATED DISORDERS

Body Dysmorphic Disorder - Psychodermatosis and Dermatitus Ficta

Psychodermatosis is a disease or problem of the skin caused by the person suffering from the disease due to psychological reasons first and foremost with medical reasons being secondary.

As the disease’s definition progresses into more serious picking it is termed Dermatitis factitia [artefacta] or Dermatitis ficta literally meaning fictional or artificial skin disorder. It is considered ‘artificial’ because the patient has self-inflicted wounds. Sufferers of this disorder in extreme cases inflict a wide variety of injuries by cutting, piercing, tearing, burning, freezing, or slashing themselves. This form of self abuse may also include head banging, nose or scab picking, genetil mutilation and bruising.. Examples of distantly related disorders are Autism, Personality Disorders, and Munchausen's Disease. Tourette’s Syndrome, which is characterized by involuntary physical compulsions, often includes Dermatitis factitia through compulsive skin picking in response to an excessive and unreasonable fear of contamination. Picking pimples or tearing cuticles is a very mild form of dermatitis factitia, but it is still self inflicted injury.
