Forty-three patients, 38 women and 5 men, with self-inflicted skin lesions were studied. Thirty-three were followed up for up to 22 years. In most cases dermatitis artefacta was only one incident in a long history of psychogenic illness. Of the 43 patients, 13 (30%), 12 women and one man, continued to produce lesions or were disabled with other psychiatric disorders more than 12 years after the onset of symptoms. Prognosis was difficult but recovery seemed to occur when the patient's life circumstances changed rather than as a result of treatment.
对43例有自我造成皮肤损伤的患者进行了研究，其中38例女性，5例男性。33例患者随访了长达22年。在大多数情况下，人为性皮炎只是长期精神疾病史中的一个事件。43例患者中，13例（30%），12例女性和1例男性，在症状出现12年多后仍继续产生损伤或因其他精神疾病而致残。预后困难，但当患者生活环境改变而非治疗导致恢复时，恢复似乎会发生。
