[Psychological aspects of nutrition in patients with neurodermatitis].
For patients with neurodermatitis nutrition gains an increasing importance as part of therapy. To evaluate the psychological meaning of nutrition, 150 patients were given a questionnaire. 124 of them answered. 75% believe a diet to be indispensible or important. On the other hand, 17-37% never have been on diet and only 6-7% dieted with the only purpose to better their skin symptoms. This discrepancy coincides with the fact that these patients feel not sufficiently informed. This leads to the hypothesis that the wish for a diet is often based on unfullfillable hopes. Therefore the next step after allergological diagnostics is the information of the patient which should also become an integrative part of further therapy.
