| Summary: | Primary psychiatric conditions are those conditions, wherein the cutaneous manifestations are secondary to functional psychopathology in the brain. These comprise of psychiatric disorders with dermatologic manifestations and include conditions such as dermatitis artefacta, delusions of parasitosis, obsessive-compulsive disorders, body-focused repetitive behavior disorders, or somatoform disorders.
