[Psychosomatic aspects in patients with alopecia areata, rosacea and lichen ruber planus].

90 Patients suffering from alopecia areata, rosacea or lichen planus as well as 30 healthy persons at the age between 20 and 55 were psychologically examined. The findings reveal that the highest percentage of neuroses of the neurotic or psychasthenic type occurred in patients with rosacea (76.6% of the population). 91% of the patients with rosacea suspected a connection between the appearance of their cutaneous changes and stress situations. We conclude that psychogenic factors may be of great importance in the etiopathogenesis of rosacea.

[Anxiety as a state and anxiety as a personality trait in patients with alopecia areata, rosacea and lichen ruber planus].

Our study comprised the examination of 120 persons by psychological methods. Every 30 of them were patients with alopecia areata, rosacea, lichen ruber planus, and healthy skin. The results revealed that patients suffering from skin diseases may be characterized by different anxiety conditions. Patients with rosacea turned out to possess a high level of anxiety trait: accordingly, their reactions towards the disease showed a higher level of anxiety state than could be observed in alopecia areata or lichen ruber planus patients. With regard to rosacea etiopathogenesis, psychogenic factors seem to play a special part if compared to the other diseases. In most of the cases, traumatogenic situations preceded the appearance of dermatoses and aggravated their signs and symptoms.

[Personality in patients with lichen ruber planus (author's transl)].

Psychological tests were performed in 26 woman and in 4 men (average age = 41,2 years) with the histopathological diagnosis of lichen ruber planus. The same tests were given to 30 healthy persons without functional and organic disturbances. Results obtained do not indicate the existence of any specific personality structure in people with lichen ruber planus. The examined persons revealed an autoaggression syndrome characterized by a sense of guilt, inclination for blaming others and suspiciousness. The patients with lichen ruber planus reveal a tendency to react with neurotic anxiety. In 86,6% out of the examined 30 patients with lichen ruber planus, psychical trauma preceded this skin disease. The factors obtained from patients with lichen ruber planus and from healthy people showed significant statistical differences.
