Psychodermatology

Mental discomfort goes hand in hand with almost all skin diseases. It is not for nothing that it is said that the skin is the mirror of the soul. Moreover, the skin and the nervous system share a common basis during embryonic development (neuroectoderm). Most skin diseases of a chronic nature e.g. atopic eczema, psoriasis, more severe acne, etc. get worse with stress. The reverse is also true – stress and long-term mental exhaustion can cause skin disease. A separate chapter is the field of corrective and aesthetic dermatology, where a small, gentle procedure can correct a problem that has been bothering us for a long time. Our clients often want to remove a change in their skin that they do not like, that bothers them or even puts them at a disadvantage in their interactions with their surroundings or at work. Sometimes, on the contrary, the dissatisfaction we feel can flow from our soul and even the best intervention cannot resolve it. In this case, a comprehensive approach can help, including psychotherapy, relaxation methods and, most importantly, understanding the cause of our difficulties. Today, a large part of the population is very busy with work, living at an unhealthy pace and many people are unable to pause in the pace of life. And often it is on the skin that changes appear, which are related to great stress or may be a signal of a disease of an internal organ.

At Almiaderm we offer you the possibility of psychological counselling and psychotherapy targeted to your skin disease and the difficulties you are facing both physically and psychologically. We work with leading psychologists. A well-conducted psychotherapeutic interview and a highly individual approach are of great importance, especially in patients with skin cancer. In our concept of a comprehensive psychosomatic approach, we also have very good experience with the use of physiotherapy and relaxation methods. For this reason, we will be happy to arrange examinations and treatment with specialists in these areas.
