Through an exploration of the underlying BDD symptoms, we analyzed the complex dynamics between skin health and mental well-being, emphasizing the disorder’s impact on patients’ psychological and social functioning. This narrative review further investigated the consequential effects of BDD on essential aspects of dermatological treatment, including patient adherence to therapeutic regimens, overall quality of life (QOL), and the effectiveness of available treatments. In addition to presenting current therapeutic approaches, we advocate for the integration of psycho-dermatological interventions tailored to mitigate the dual burden of skin conditions and psychological distress.

Alcohol and nicotine from tobacco have also been shown to stimulate keratinocyte and immune cell proliferation and production of proinflammatory cytokines.
