A healthy skin plays an important role in a person’s physical and mental wellbeing, whereas a disfiguring appearance is associated with body image concerns. Skin diseases such as acne, psoriasis and vitiligo produce cosmetic disfigurement and patients suffering these and other visible skin conditions have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, feelings of stigmatization and self-harm ideation. Body image affects our emotions, thoughts, and behaviours in everyday life, but, above all, it influences our relationships. Furthermore, it has the potential to influence our quality of life. Promotion of positive body image is highly recommended, as it is important in improving people’s quality of life, physical health, and health-related behaviors. Dermatologists have a key role in identifying body image concerns and offering patients possible treatment options. 000056752 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000056752 590__ $$a3.653$$b2016 000056752 591__ $$aDERMATOLOGY$$b8 / 63 = 0.127$$c2016$$dQ1$$eT1 000056752 592__ $$a1.004$$b2016 000056752 593__ $$aMedicine (miscellaneous)$$c2016$$dQ1 000056752 593__ $$aDermatology$$c2016$$dQ1 000056752 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000056752 700__ $$aMarron, S.E. 000056752 7102_ $$14009$$2735$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
