  • Title: [Psychosomatic aspects in patients with alopecia areata, rosacea and lichen ruber planus].
    Author: Puchalski Z.
    Journal: Z Hautkr; 1983 Nov 15; 58(22):1648-54. PubMed ID: 6229098.
    Abstract:
    90 Patients suffering from alopecia areata, rosacea or lichen planus as well as 30 healthy persons at the age between 20 and 55 were psychologically examined. The findings reveal that the highest percentage of neuroses of the neurotic or psychasthenic type occurred in patients with rosacea (76.6% of the population). 91% of the patients with rosacea suspected a connection between the appearance of their cutaneous changes and stress situations. We conclude that psychogenic factors may be of great importance in the etiopathogenesis of rosacea.
