Dermatitis Artefacta as a Spectrum of Borderline Personality Disorder – case report
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2011, Vol 15, Issue 1
Abstract
Dermatitis artefacta refers to conditions in which patient self-inflicts excoriations with their own nails, sharp instruments, burning cigarettes or chemicals. There are instances in which recognition of this disorder is difficult. Histological findings are not characteristic and diagnosis depends on the clinical presentation. The differential diagnosis of cutaneous lesions is extensive, depending on the lesion type. Diagnosis of dermatitis arteficialis was based on clinical grounds, including bizarre-looking lesions, sites accessible to the patients and absence of other dermatologic diseases to explain the dermatosis. Knowledge of the psycho-dermatological diseases can contribute to more profitable therapy in both dermatology and psychiatry.
