This article is a review of current evidence to both support and refute holistic approaches to dermatological cases, including analysis of data linked to psychodermatology, psychosocial and lifestyle influences.A case for taking an integrated approach adjuvant to traditional medicine in skin disease therapy, how this could save time, money and reduce pressure on resources will be discussed. Overall, the research is promising; however, there are gaps in knowledge and there is a need for long-term, larger scale studies in the future. Also, an improved understanding of the processes that lead to inflammatory cutaneous diseases in the future will enable practitioners to make better treatment choices.

The skin of colour population is rising globally and practitioners are faced with an increasingly diverse footfall. Additionally, there are also increased demands for inclusivity in a vastly multi-cultural world. To satisfy these societal changes, it is important for practitioners to be competent in meeting the needs of all patient groups.From understanding the physiology of skin of colour to an appreciation of how culture, myths and expectations impact the conditions presented, as well as product and treatment selection, practitioners today need greater awareness to provide a superior and profitable service that meets the needs of all patients and stakeholders.
