Skin is well recognized as an important somatic mirror of one's emotion and a site for the discharge of one's anxieties. We present a case of a 42-year-old female patient presenting with a vague history of generalized body pain and skin lesions in the form of cotton threads buried under the skin, crusted plaque, multiple keloids and rusted pin buried through the skin mostly in the easily accessible areas of the body. Histopathology from the crusted plaque revealed foreign body granuloma. To satisfy her psychological or emotional need, it is the deliberate and conscious production of self-inflicted skin lesions through overvalued ideation of acupuncture on her part.
皮肤被公认为是反映个人情绪的重要体像，也是人们宣泄焦虑的部位。我们呈现了一个病例，一名 42 岁女性患者，表现为全身疼痛病史不明确，皮肤病变为埋于皮下的棉线、结痂斑块、多处瘢痕疙瘩和锈钉穿过皮肤，主要位于身体易于触及的部位。结痂斑块的组织病理学显示异物肉芽肿。为了满足她的心理或情感需求，这是她故意通过过度高估针灸的观念，有意识地制造自我造成的皮肤损伤。
