Dermatitis artefacta: an unusual diagnosis in psychodermatology
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
We report the case of a 22 year old female diagnosed with dermatitis artefacta. This is an uncommon diagnosis and provides a unique therapeutic challenge for psychiatrists and dermatologists alike. We describe how early intervention and a close collaborative approach is central to securing a favourable outcome for patients.
