The results confirm the usual and characteristics of dermatitis artefacta such as predominance in young female patients, with lesions affecting visible areas (face, upper legs). In contrast with published studies, no cases of attempted suicide were observed in our series, although severe dermatitis artefacta was evidenced in only a minority of patients.
