Maksimovic N, et al. - Authors ascertained whether or not the stress, lack of social support, and poor emotional relationships influence the recurrence of atopic dermatitis (AD) in adults. The participants included in this study were treated at the Department of Dermatology – Military Medical Academy and City Department for Skin and Venereal Diseases from January to June 2014. Higher anxiety scores were seen in AD patients. Disease recurrence was more frequent in the patients with low social support. Findings did not suggest any difference in the number of stressful life events between studied groups.
