Review
Acne vulgaris (AV) is a skin disease that is commonly seen and causes scar formation especially when left untreated. It can cause serious psychological comorbidities due to the intense involvement of appeared areas such as face and also being common in adolescence in which the body perception is not yet well established. Although psychiatric comorbidities frequently accompany AV patients in dermatology, they almost never directed to dermatology-psychiatry liaison clinics. Depression, anxiety, stress, decreased self-esteem, suicidal thoughts and even suicide attempts are too frequent to ignore in these patients, and many studies have been conducted on the positive or controversial effects of acne treatments. For this reason, serious responsibilities fall to dermatologists. They should not treat AV lesions only, but also to determine the AV patients' psychological conditions and to direct them to get help when necessary.

Review
Psychiatric symptoms in dermatology practice are increasingly being recognized. The use of psychiatric medications by dermatologist is dealt with caution and uncertainty in several psychodermatological conditions. Several skin conditions are associated with anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Some conditions such as delusion of parasitosis require antipsychotic medication treatment. Keeping in mind the importance of psychotropic medications and its use in dermatology, following brief review will familiarize dermatologists about the ease of understanding and prescribing psychotropic medications to help their patients with psychiatric symptoms and increase the compliance in treatment.

Characteristic skin changes lead to diagnosis of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE), an ectopic mineralization disorder, involving primarily the skin, eyesight, and arterial vessels. Early recognition is crucial for timely treatment of extracutaneous complications. We hereby report a series of four cases of PXE with pathognomonic skin lesions and a broad spectrum of systemic complications.

Review
Skin picking disorder (excoriation disorder) is a common psychodermatological disorder characterized by irresistible urges to pick skin on dominant hand accessible parts of the body. There is no specific recommended treatment available. Various pharmacological agents particularly selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and glutamatergic agents have been tried with variable success. Habit reversal therapy has been commonly employed in the treatment and has some evidence-based success. This review focuses on the interdisciplinary team approach consisting of a liaison with psychiatry, in the management of this disorder. The specific roles of dermatologist and psychiatrist are discussed in detail.
