Skin diseases have become one of the most relevant problem due to their global prevalence and intensive growth nowadays. Significantly increased the interest in studying of the life quality of patients with acute and chronic dermatological diseases. The life quality of the patient is the most objective characteristic of the impact of the disease on the patient's condition and various areas of his activity. Emotional or social disorders caused by the disease often do not allow the patient to feel full and healthy person even if clinical recovery. The peculiarities of patients' perception of somatic disease significantly affect both on its course and on the effectiveness of therapeutic measures. Skin diseases form an aspect of life quality that can be dangerous for the prognosis. Dermatological diseases can lead to significant limitations in the physical, emotional and social aspects of patients' lives and can interfere with success in learning and at work, as well as in personal life. In dermatology to assess the quality of life of patients are used: general medical scales, special dermatological scales, dermatological scales for certain nosologies.
Purpose — to analyze literary datas on the research methods of life quality in children with dermatological diseases.
Conclusions. Determining and evaluating indicators of life quality in patients is a valuable and reliable indicator of the general condition, that allows to monitor the effectiveness of treatment depending on the patient's condition and creates an objective picture of the disease. Assessment of quality of life in patients with dermatological diseases makes it possible to understand the essence of the clinical problem, to determine the most rational method of treatment, as well as to assess its expected results by parameters that are at the intersection between the scientific approach and the patient's point of view.
