Xerosis cutis is recognized as a burdensome and stressful condition of the skin, resulting in impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Therefore, it should be treated as a relevant skin disease with detailed care and treatment recommendations.

Pruritus has been shown to be a common and burdensome complaint in the general population. In some diseases, there is an even higher rate and intensity of pruritus such as in chronic kidney diseases. In particular, patients re- quiring dialysis commonly suffer from pruritus with propor- tions between 22.0 and 90.0%. Few data on the characteris- tics and burden of such pruritus have been published. There- fore, the aim of this study was to investigate the extent and profiles of pruritus in such patients related to skin lesions and care.

The burden of visible skin diseases (VSDs) includes not only physical symptoms but also psychosocial consequences such as depression, anxiety, impaired quality of life and low self-esteem. Stigmatization was shown to play a major role in people with skin diseases. The aim of the study was to review the evidence for the components, drivers and impacts of (self-)stigma, and to organize the data into a series of conceptual models.

The Wound-QoL is an often used reliable and valid measure, originally developed in Germany. It has been sequentially translated and validated for other languages/coun- tries, for the measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with chronic wounds. However, a study from the United States postulated its benefits from further adaptations. Furthermore, some patients struggled to provide an answer for some of the items. We aimed to test the cross-cultural structure and psychometric per- formance of the questionnaire to suggest necessary revisions.
