A person who has an extreme or irrational fear of skin diseases or of touching skin.
From Greek 'derma' (skin) + 'phobos' (fear). Constructed in modern medical psychology to describe a specific phobia related to dermatological concerns.
Ironically, the fear of skin diseases can actually cause stress-related skin problems, creating a vicious cycle where anxiety about skin makes skin worse!
