Dermatological conditions often take the form of chronic illnesses, thus affecting the sufferer's quality of life and their psyche. The relationship between these two spheres of life - physicality and psyche - is established. Both the psyche affects the body, which can generate the development of dermatological conditions, and the physical condition has a strong impact on the psyche. This is of particular relevance to childhood, when habits are formed that often accompany people throughout their lives.
