Universidad de Zaragoza Body image and body dysmorphic concerns 2016 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Most people would like to change something about their bodies and the way that they look, but for some it becomes an obsession. 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. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.653 2016 DERMATOLOGY 8 / 63 = 0.127 2016 Q1 T1 1.004 2016 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2016 Q1 Dermatology 2016 Q1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Marron, S.E. 4009 735 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
