title: Parasympathetic nervous system and chronic facial dermatitis.
abstract: Recognizing the focal role of the CNS and stress in the pathogenesis of chronic facial dermatitis, the author hypothesized that the main responsibility for the persistence of CFD lies in the parasympathetic portion of the CNS. The validity of this hypothesis is challenged with organ specific treatments, leading to the resolution of parasympathetic stress and CFD.
