Evaluation of corticophobia in patients with atopic dermatitis and psoriasis using the TOPICOP © score

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of corticophobia was comparable to that reported in other similar studies and was higher among female patients, which replicates previous findings. Patients with AD, who were younger on average than patients with PS, often relied on friends, acquaintances, family members, and the internet as their main information sources. Providing correct and reliable information to patients is crucial for ensuring treatment adherence.PMID:38126095
