The field of psychodermatology explores this complex bidirectional relationship, offering insights into the mechanisms and extent of psychological influence on the behavior of dermatological conditions, and vice versa. The skin has a close relationship with the mind, potentially due to the common ectodermal origin of the brain and skin, and by the visible and hence psychosocially impactful nature of chronic skin diseases, a factor less relevant for other organ systems. Despite growing evidence supporting this connection, both causally and therapeutically, the field remains peripheral in mainstream dermatology practice. Thirty to forty percent of dermatology patients suffer from psychological issues, yet only up to 15 percent receive appropriate psychological support. This article examines the status, expanding scope, and future prospects of psychodermatology with particular emphasis on the role of artificial intelligence.</p>","PeriodicalId":13335,"journal":{"name":"Indian Dermatology Online Journal","volume":"17 3","pages":"324-330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147837593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This systematic review was conducted to assess the nature and severity of ocular injuries associated with various cosmetic lasers in both patients and laser operators and to deduce methods of reducing such incidents. A total of 24 case reports/case series involving ocular adverse effects of cosmetic lasers were retrieved using the following keywords: \"cosmetic laser,\" \"patient,\" \"aesthetician,\" \"laser operator,\" \"dermatologist,\" and \"ocular injury,\" either singly or combined. The databases searched include PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, and Science Direct.

Its dysregulation is a recognized driver of carcinogenesis, contributing to uncontrolled cellular growth, survival, and metastasis.
