Nonpharmacologic management of psychodermatologic conditions includes both structured
and unstructured interventions that may ameliorate skin disorders, reduce psychological
distress, and improve the functional status of the affected individual. Nonpharmacologic
techniques are often referred to as psychocutaneous interventions. This article will
review the data on psychocutaneous conditions that have been shown to improve with
nonpharmacologic interventions. Suggested clinical approaches to facilitate the implementation
of these modalities will be discussed.
