A1 - Mikailov, Anar PY - 2023 T2 - Fitzpatrick’s Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology, 9e AB - Patients with dysmorphic syndrome regard their image as distorted in the eyes of the public.Common dermatologic complaints are facial (wrinkles, acne, scars, hypertrichosis, and dry lips), scalp (incipient baldness, increased hair growth), genital (normal sebaceous glands on the penis, red scrotum, red vulva, and vaginal odor), hyperhidrosis, and bromhidrosis.Management is a difficult. One strategy is for the dermatologist to establish rapport; in a few visits, the complaint can be explored and further discussed.If the patient and physician do not agree on the complaint and treatment, referral to a psychiatrist may be helpful. This latter plan is usually not accepted, in which case the problem may persist indefinitely.
