Summary

This study will compare 250 children aged 6 to 18 with chronic skin diseases to 250 healthy children to see how common body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is in each group. Researchers will use a simple questionnaire to spot BDD symptoms and another to measure how skin problems affect daily life. The goal is to understand the mental health impact of visible skin conditions in kids.
