Objective - To increase awareness of the psychosocial impact of Kushtha, Visarpa, Mukhadushika, Sheetpitta, Udarda and Kotha in Ayurveda and Acne vulgaris, Urticaria, Various types of fungal infections, Atopic dermatitis, Psoriasis etc. in modern point of view. Quality Of Evidence - A literature review was based on a MEDLINE search (1966 to 2000). Selected articles from the dermatologic and psychiatric literature, as well as other relevant medical journals, were reviewed and used as the basis for discussion of how skin disease affects patients’ lives and of appropriate management. Message - Dermatologic problems hurt patients’ quality of life. skin disease can produce stress, anxiety, anger, depression, low self-esteem, embarrassment, and other psychological, personal, professional and social life problems that affect patients’ lives in ways comparable to arthritis or other disabling illnesses, as well as showing a bidirectional relationship between skin disease and psychological distress. This review focuses on the effects of five common skin diseases seen by family physicians- Acne, Urticaria, Various types of fungal infections, Atopic dermatitis and Psoriasis. Conclusion - How skin disease affects psychosocial well-being is un- derappreciated. Increased understanding of the psychiatric comorbidity associated with skin disease and a biopsy- chosocial approach to management will ultimately improve patients’ lives. Keywords: Skin disease, Psychosocial Impact, Quality of life.

The incidence of skin disease in Indonesia is still relatively high and is a significant problem. This is evidenced by the 2010 Indonesian Health Profile data which shows that skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases are the third rank of the 10 most common diseases among outpatients in hospitals throughout Indonesia. Skin disease is growing, as evidenced by data from the Indonesian Ministry of Health, the prevalence of skin disease throughout Indonesia in 2012 was 8.46%, then increased in 2013 by 9 %. Palu City is an area that has a high skin disease problem. According to the 2016 BPS of Palu City, skin diseases are among the top 10 diseases in Palu City with a total of 11,363 sufferers. The method used in this research is binary logistic regression. Based on the analysis that has been done, it can be concluded that the best model is formed as follows:. Based on the best model, it is found that the factors that influence the transmission of skin diseases after the Palu earthquake are genetic factors.

According to research in Russia in 2016, the prevalence of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue was 5871 cases per 100000 people, the incidence was 4259 cases per 100000 people. Severe chronic dermatoses significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and their families, the patients’ self-esteem suffers, their habitual lifestyle is disturbed. The purpose is to study the level dynamics and structure of the incidence of diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the population of the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period 2008-2017. The analysis of the structure and dynamics of the prevalence and the incidence of the ICD-10 class “Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue” (L00-L99) in the Republic of Bashkortostan was carried out according to the FSN form No. 12 for 2008-2017, and a simulated forecast of the incidence rate up to 2022 was compiled. The study revealed a steady downward trend in the prevalence and the incidence of these diseases in the Republic of Bashkortostan for the period 2011-2017. Considering the prediction data, the trend towards a decrease in the incidence rates of skin diseases until 2022 will continue. On this background, the level of the prevalence of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis tends to increase, the incidence of atopic dermatitis tends to increase, and the incidence of psoriasis tends to decrease. The proportion of severe chronic dermatoses increased 1.5-2 times in all age groups. Thus, the analysis makes it necessary to improve the work on the organization of medical care for patients with chronic dermatoses and methods for their prevention.

BackgroundOccupational skin disease (OSD) is one of the most common occupational disorders in Taiwan. As reporting OSD was not compulsory, there was limited information on the exact causes and patient characteristics. The objective of this study was to investigate the causes and common allergens among OSD patients in Taiwan.MethodsWe recruited patients from Occupational Dermatology Clinic in National Cheng Kung University Hospital, a tertiary referral center in Tainan city, between 1 January 2010 and 31 July 2017. Patch testing with European baseline series, additional occupation-oriented series, and personal material exposed at work or during daily life was carried out if the patients were suspected of allergic skin diseases.ResultsAmong the 273 patients who received patch testing, 51 (18.7%) patients had a final diagnosis of OSD. 82.4% of the 51 patients were diagnosed with allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), 11.8% with irritant contact dermatitis (ICD), while the rest 5.9% with both. Patient reported 3.0 years of skin problem prior to the clinic visit. The vast majority of patients suffered from hand eczema. Epoxy resin workers, food workers, hairdressers and beauty salon beauticians were the most common occupations related to OSD. The most important allergens were nickel, fragrance mix I, potassium dichromate and paraben mix. Around half of the patients showed allergic reaction to their personal material.DiscussionAs worker compensation statistics may not accurately estimate the characteristics of OSD patients, our study was crucial to identify the high-risk groups as well as the common allergens related to their work. Although the results might not represent the proportion of patients of OSD in other clinic, drawing information from patch testing may reflect those patients of severer or longer duration of symptoms. Future occupational measures should be taken on these industries for the detection and prevention of OSD.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the most frequent chronic inflammatory skin disease, and its incidence has been rapidly increasing in developed countries in the last years. AD presents a high degree of heterogeneity due to biases and confounding factors such as age range, sex, or ethnicity. For those reasons, the search for new biomarkers is crucial. At the same time, obesity, which is a global health problem, has also increased over the years. It has been associated with many pathophysiological states, including skin diseases such as AD, mostly in childhood. Obesity promotes a low grade inflammation driven by many different cytokines and adipokines, including leptin, which has a key role in many other diseases due to its pleiotropic effects. Leptin also has a role in both skin and allergic diseases very related to AD. Thus, this adipokine could have an important role in the pathogenesis of AD, especially in its chronicity. Despite the limited literature available, there is some evidence that leads us to consider leptin as an important adipokine in this skin disease. For this reason, here we have reviewed the role of leptin in the pathophysiology of AD.

Diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue account for 3.8% in the structure of total morbidity. Tula region is among the five leaders in the diseases of skin and subcutaneous tissue in the Central Federal District. This study was examined a medical and pharmaceutical care to patients with chronic diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. Pharmacists give expert assessment of the situation. In the Tula region 40 pharmacists and pharmacy staff were interviewed because they have direct contact with pharmacy visitors. Chronic skin disease was examined on the example of psoriasis, eczema and atopic dermatitis. These diseases are characterized by a prolonged course, with periods of recurrence and remission. Chronic diseases of the skin and subcutaneous tissue significantly reduce the quality of life of patients and are accompanied by long-term medication. Patients with these diseases are frequent visitors to pharmacies, so it is important to study the opinions of specialists with pharmaceutical education on the organization of medical and pharmaceutical care for patients with atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and eczema.

Infectious Skin Diseases

Skin is larger than any other organ in humans. Like other organs, various bacterial, viral, and inflammatory diseases, as well as cancer, affect the skin. Skin diseases like acne, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis often reduce the quality of life seriously. Therefore, effective treatment of skin disorders is important despite them not being life-threatening. Conventional medicines for skin diseases include corticosteroids and antimicrobial drugs, which are effective in treating many inflammatory and infectious skin diseases; however, there are growing concerns about the side effects of these therapies, especially during long-term use in relapsing or intractable diseases. Hence, many researchers are trying to develop alternative treatments, especially from natural sources, to resolve these limitations. Bee venom (BV) is an attractive candidate because many experimental and clinical reports show that BV exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, anti-fibrotic, antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, and anticancer effects. Here, we review the therapeutic applications of BV in skin diseases, including acne, alopecia, atopic dermatitis, melanoma, morphea, photoaging, psoriasis, wounds, wrinkles, and vitiligo. Moreover, we explore the therapeutic mechanisms of BV in the treatment of skin diseases and cytotoxic effects of BV on skin disease-causing pathogens, including bacteria, fungi and viruses.
