Psychological health

Self-image and psychological support

Visible surface area does not measure emotional impact. A small patch may be highly distressing while extensive vitiligo may be well accepted.

In breve

Punti essenziali

  • Impact is individual
  • Distress is legitimate
  • Screening helps
  • Support can be effective
01

Signs not to minimise

Avoidance, repetitive checking, anxiety, low mood, sleep problems or bullying deserve discussion in care.

02

Sources of support

Psychoeducation, psychological therapies, peer groups and patient organisations can complement dermatological treatment.
