Mayo's Take on Morgellons and DP

[posey]

excerpt:

Real symptoms
The symptoms produce real physical lesions and sufferers have pulled fibres from their bodies, but delusional parasitosis has very similar symptoms, causes lesions and yet it is well-accepted fact DP patients are not infected with parasites, despite being convinced of this reality.

It has been noted that whilst descriptions of DP vary wildly between sufferers, Morgellons patients describe their symptoms in very similar ways. Whilst, further, the Mayo Clinic study found that DP is almost certainly overused as a diagnosis. The implication is not necessarily that there are unknown skin conditions that are mis-diagnosed as DP, more that some currently known, but rare, conditions are under-diagnosed.
