Delusions of parasitosis and other forms of monosymptomatic hypochondriacal psychosis. General discussion and case illustrations.
In this article, the epidemiology and differential diagnosis of monosymptomatic hypochondriacal psychosis are discussed in detail. The use of pimozide is also discussed and illustrated with case reports. Delusional patients are some of the most challenging cases based in dermatologic practice. This challenge is so much easier to meet if one knows how to approach these patients and feels comfortable in the use of pimozide.

Cutaneous sensory disorder.
Some patients only present with a cutaneous sensory complaint such as itching, burning, stinging, or other disagreeable sensations of unknown etiology. Frequently, these patients may not have any diagnosable dermatologic, neurologic, medical, or psychiatric diagnosis. Their suffering, however, is real. This article explains a practical approach to the treatment of patients with pure cutaneous sensory disorders.

Psychopharmacology for dermatologic patients.
In the recent past, there has been great progress made in making psychopharmacologic agents both more efficacious and more user friendly. If dermatologists are to more effectively treat psychodermatologic patients who refuse to see a mental health professional, judicious and responsible use of psychopharmacology is still the most feasible way to treat many of these patients. This article illustrates the use of several commonly used psychopharmacologic agents. Even for psychiatrists, it is not realistic to try to master all psychopharmacologic agents that are on the market. Familiarity with the use of medications discussed in this article is likely to add significantly to the therapeutic armamentarium of a dermatologic practitioner.

Pseudopsychodermatologic disease.
Just as psychodermatologic disorders can mimic real dermatologic conditions, real dermatologic or other bona fide physical problems such as neurologic disorders can also mimic psychodermatologic disorders. This article illustrates several cases of pseudopsychodermatologic disorders. When faced with a difficult patient or baffling case, sometimes there is a tendency to "jump to conclusions" with regard to the psychogenic origins of the case. It is important to be cognizant of the possibility that one may be missing a real organic disorder if one does not keep an open mind with regard to diagnosis of the patient's skin condition.
