Factitious dermatitis

Other names: Dermatitis artefacta
Factitious dermatitis

Factitious dermatitis is a form of factitious disorder in which patients will intentionally feign symptoms and produce signs of disease in an attempt to assume the patient role. It is also self-inflicted skin damage, most commonly from prolonged deliberate scratching, but sometimes by means of sharp instruments or another agency.[1]: 391 [2]: 61
