Résumé

Excoriation (Skin-Picking) disorder is a clinically recognized condition which was recently included in the Diagnostic and Statistical manual of the American Psychiatric Association (DSM) - fifth edition, as OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) related disorder. The disorder's official status has been achieved due to its high frequency and unique clinical picture involving both mental and physical impairment. In this article, we would like to present a concise review of the literature together with an illustrative case. Epidemiological surveys show a prevalence of 3% to 5% for the general population, with heterogeneous gender and age distribution. In recent years the disorder has been categorized under the family of BFRB's (Body Focused Repetitive Behaviours). However, there are some elements associated with movement suppression and tic disorders, as well as disorders belonging to obsessive-compulsive spectrum. The treatment of this disorder may be pharmacological and/or psychological. There is some evidence for the benefit of some SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors) agents as well as for N-Acetyl-Cysteine. Various psychological treatments have been investigated and some of them have proven to be effective. These include cognitive behavioural protocols, some of which have been developed specifically for this disorder.
