ABSTRACT
Dermatitis artefacta (DA) is a rare psychological disorder in which patients self-inflict cutaneous lesions to satisfy an emotional need. Here, we describe a case of DA initially misdiagnosed as pemphigus. This case represents the importance of the timely recognition and treatment of DA to prevent its progression like in our case scarring alopecia.
