| Summary: | The article is dedicated to the problem of children pathomimia. Autoaggressive injuries in pediatrics are very common; they have a variety of clinical manifestations and can be a symptom of severe mental disorders. The article describes in detail the mechanisms for the formation of autoaggressive behavior, provides a classification of psychodermatoses, and describes the clinical features of the course of pathomimia in childhood and adolescence. The authors focused on the frequently occurred forms of pathomimia, which are provoked by stress factors and are transient. An approach to the treatment of skin autolesions in children has been proved and it is noted that the general treatment of pathomimia will depend on the degree of severity and manifestations of mental illness, and external therapy of psychodermatoses will lead to accelerating the regeneration of the skin lesion as well as the preventing of secondary infection. |
