Chronic dermatoses, such as atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, and psoriasis, can affect children. Apart from impacting the pediatric patient's quality of life, these disorders can also have a profound impact on the quality of life of their parents or closest caregivers and other family members. In an effort to better understand the relationship between parental stress and chronic dermatoses in children, we reviewed the available literature, which is scarce. Data indicate that the negative impact that chronic dermasoses in children can have on their parents is often overlooked during dermatologic consultation. Increased parental/caregiver stress can contribute to poor psychological adjustment of the parent to the child, potentially leading to a decreased level of childcare. Financial burden caused by prolonged therapy may further impact the parental care of the child. We as healthcare professionals should address parental and caregiver stress and incorporate appropriate measures to ensure optimal care of children with chronic dermatoses., Competing Interests: DISCLOSURES: The authors have no conflicts of interest relevant to the content of this article., (Copyright © 2021.
