Resumen
Type D personality is characterized by social inhibition
and negative affectivity. Poorer outcomes and worse
quality of life have been linked to type D personality in
patients with a variety of non-dermatological diseases.
Despite increasing evidence of the importance of type
D personality in skin diseases, there are no reviews on
this subject. The aim of this review is to summarize the
current evidence regarding type D personality and skin
diseases. A systematic search was performed using
Medline and Web of Science databases from inception
to 11 October 2022. Studies addressing the presence
of type D personality, its associated factors, its impact
on the outcomes of the disease or the quality of life of
the patients were included in the systematic review. A
total of 20 studies, including 3,124 participants, met
the eligibility criteria and were included in the review.
Acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, psoriasis, melanoma,
atopic dermatitis, chronic spontaneous urticaria and
pruritic disorders were the main diseases assessed.
Type D personality was more frequent among patients
with skin diseases than among controls. Type D personality
was found to be associated with poorer quality
of life and higher rates of psychological comorbidities
in patients with skin diseases. In conclusion, type D
personality appears to be a marker of patients with increased
risk of poorer quality of life and higher rates
of psychological comorbidities. Screening for type D
personality in specialized dermatology units might be
beneficial to identify patients who are more psychologically
vulnerable to the consequences of chronic skin
diseases.
