Palliative Dermatology

IntroductIon Palliative care is aimed at reducing the physical, mental, social, and spiritual pain of the critically ill patients irrespective of the diagnosis.[1] Going with this definition, dermatologists who have minimal chance to encounter emergencies and pain may be the one playing the least important role in a multidisciplinary team of palliative care. However, as the knowledge about the close interconnection between dermatology and psychiatry is built up recently, the above-mentioned notion about the role of the dermatologist in palliative care is gradually changing.
