Abstract

The aim of the paper is to show the importance of psychodermatology in the treatment of chronic skin diseases in children and adolescents. The period of growing up and maturing is important for the development of the perception of one’s own body, self-esteem and sense of satisfaction. Growing up burdened and under the pressure of a skin disease can have long-term consequences, not only for the period of childhood and adolescence, but also for adulthood. This is precisely why, in addition to classic dermatological therapy, education about the disease and methods of treatment, psychotherapy is increasingly used as part of chronic skin diseases treatment
in children and adolescents, helping them to face the disease more easily and reducing the impact of the disease on the quality of life.
