The psychosocial dimensions of seborrheic dermatitis: A cross-sectional study on anxiety, personality, and quality of life

Seborrheic dermatitis imposes a significant psychosocial burden that is more strongly linked to anxiety than to objective clinical severity. Our findings underscore the importance of integrating routine psychological screening-such as BAI assessment-into SD management to identify patients at risk of diminished quality of life. This study contributes novel evidence by concurrently evaluating clinical, psychological, and personality dimensions, reinforcing the need for a multidimensional, patient-centered approach to chronic inflammatory skin disorders.
