Summary

The purpose of this study will be developing a questionnaire to evaluate the level of awareness of dermatologists regarding the role of physical therapy in patients with different skin diseases.

BACKGROUND:

Skin diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the skin, hair, and nails. They can be acute or chronic, benign or malignant, and can significantly impact an individual's quality of life. Understanding the epidemiology, causes, types, prevalence, and treatment options of skin diseases is crucial for effective management and improving patient outcomes, especially in regions like the Middle East and Egypt.

The treatment of skin diseases in the Middle East and Egypt involves a combination of topical and systemic therapies, lifestyle modifications, and sometimes surgical interventions. While treatments can be effective, they may also have side effects

Physical therapy plays a significant and often underappreciated role in the management of various skin diseases. While traditionally associated with musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, it can also be beneficial in treating and managing skin-related disorders
