Skin; It is one of our most important organs. The skin that covers the entire surface of our body; It provides protection against harmful substances, microbes, and internal and external stimuli. Well, did you know that some skin diseases in our body have psychological origins?
The relationship between our skin and our brain goes back to the baby's embryonic period in the womb. These two organs, which are not independent of each other, originate from the ectoderm and are affected by the same hormone and neurotransmitter. Even as an embryo in the womb, our skin records and transmits stimuli from the outside world. At the same time, our skin is our first means of communication with the outside world. Touch is one of our 5 sense organs and touch occurs through the skin. When a baby is born, it establishes skin-to-skin contact with its mother through its skin; By touching, feeling, and feedback from the mother, he gets an idea of what kind of world he is born into.
Mirror mirror, tell me, what is the message my skin is giving me?
Our skin is the reflection of an emotional state in our inner world to the outside world, in a way, our skin is the mirror of our soul. For example; When we are happy, sad, excited, worried, afraid, crying, angry, our skin gives us the first message. How Does? By turning red, blue, yellow, or causing goosebumps. While sometimes skin problems negatively affect our psychology, sometimes psychological problems can cause the emergence of a dermatological disease. In both cases, the discomfort in our body makes us feel bad psychologically.
Many diseases on our skin carry us a message from our spiritual world. Emotional states such as stress, anxiety and depression can cause many dermatological diseases. Unspoken emotions that cannot be expressed verbally are expressed by the body and express themselves in the form of skin disease. For example; emotional stress causes acne, alopecia areata, eczema, allergic asthma, etc. It is known that it is associated with many diseases or increases with psychological stress. (Although psychological distress may not be the only reason, it is known to be a factor.)
Stress caused or experienced due to dermatological reasons. It is necessary to read the message of the skin disease that occurs after treatment carefully. While dermatology deals with the visible physiological part of the skin, the invisible psychological part should not be ignored and psychological support should not be avoided. Just as everyone's reaction to an event will be different, the reasons for the dermatological problem experienced by everyone may be different, so the person should be considered individually within his/her own historical story, his/her priority psychological needs and the messages given by his/her body should be interpreted and answers should be sought.
