A mere nothing is sometimes sufficient, of a look a few supported, of a word of too much so that all of a sudden, the red goes up you to the cheeks unveiling thus to the look of the other your least emotions. And as if our moods affected our epidermis, psoriasis, herpes, eczema and even warts are assigned to stress more and more frequently. And vice versa the cutaneous shortcomings sometimes undermine us the state of mind. One doesn't say some teenagers that they are "badly in their skin", to this age hinge where one dreams to become as much as one fears to leave the childhood adult. An age where the buttons are more numerous than the buddies and invite themselves without warning in the daily. Doesn't one tell to have "the nerves skin-deep" when angry, irritated, does the situation seem to escape? ..And if skin was "the mirror of the soul?" Instrument of seduction and communication, skin is not therefore a "big bag" in which would be wrapped all our organism, but a very reactive and sophisticated organ. An organ without which one cannot live. Some recent works demonstrated that in skin, the nervous system and the immune system were bound intimately at a time physiologically and anatomically in the setting of a system says cutaneous "neuro-immuno." Some researchers try today to measure the impact of this system on the physiology and the illnesses of skin and how some psychological problems can have a cutaneous reverberation to understand. According to the Jean Paul Ortonne, director of research to the Inserm and professor to the faculty of medicine of Nice stress and the mental state plays an important role in more or less all affections dermatologiques." But some illnesses of skin are so difficult to live that one can wonder that, stress or the illness of skin are the release. Indeed, numerous unaesthetic, painful cutaneous affections have some consequences inevitably on the mental. ..Stress skin-deep Even though it seems obvious to many patients, how our mental can he act on our skin? Affected by dermatitis , an affection that would touch 6 millions of people in France, 95% of the patients consider stress as the main factor encouraging the starting point and the thrusts. As the declared professor Ortonne, if the mechanisms responsible for this dermatoses are not explained again completely, this affection could be caused by the proliferation of a microscopic yeast living since always on our body, named Malassezia furfur. This one himself nourrirrait of the sébum produces in excess by the sebaceous glands. What report then with stress? Our mental state would modify the composition of the sebum, that would become even more appetizing for the mushroom and would reinforce her multiplication thus. This proliferation would make it more aggressive face-to-face skin. and our immune system would defend itself then, what would produce the redness and the peelings clean to the dermatitis séborrheïque. Skin more that all other organ reflèterait therefore our intimate life. Dermatologists and psychologists should not linger to work regularly hand in hand. 2008-12-12
