Dermatitis Artefacta: A Study of 42 Patients With Management Considerations
A dermatologist is a healthcare professional who should be prepared to diagnose and manage cases of DA, and referral to a psychiatrist is usually unsuccessful. The success of the treatment depends on how the doctor approaches the patient. The use of placebo pills may help some patients adhere to treatment and strengthen their therapeutic bonds.
