Acne and the Psyche

Acne can be associated with psychological factors! That's kind of schocking. This article I read mentioned a study cOnducted by a couple of italian investigators who studied the relationship between skin diseases and the psyche. Many types of skin disturbances (acne, dermatitis, urticaria, psoriasis, etc.) have been associated with psychosomatic factors and this is what led to the investigation being conducted. The findings highlight the high frequency of psychosocial problems in patients with skin disease.
