The main primary psychiatric disorders in dermatology are a group of diseases characterized by a disturbance in the psyche, associated with secondary skin conditions and self-induced injury. Although the dermatologist may be the first physician in contact with these patients, support from other specialties such as psychiatry may be necessary. The acquisition of abilities in the medical act is essential to identify the type of disorder and to generate empathy, allowing proper management and acceptance of a possible referral to a psychiatrist. All this is very important to avoid serious complications such as the perpetuation of the disorder or even suicide. This work aims to elucidate the clinical features and management of these complex diseases
