Botulinophilia: contraindication for therapy with botulinum toxin.

Botulinum toxin inhibits neuromuscular transmission and is one of the most potent toxins. It has proven to be effective in the treatment of hyperhidrosis and is being more frequently demanded for therapy. Patients with body dysmorphic disorder also seek costly treatment with botulinum toxin. This botulinophilia is a new venenophilia. Body dysmorphic disorder is defined as a preoccupation with an imagined defect in appearance. If a slight physical anomaly is present, the person's concern is markedly exessive. The patient's preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in socially, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. The sweat test according to Minor is negative. Patients with botulinophilia are among the most difficult patients managed by the dermatologist. They are demanding and time-consuming. In our clinic, 23.1% of a series of patients seeking treatment with botulinum toxin screened positive for body dysmorphic disorder. Botulinophilia is a contraindication for therapy with botulinum toxin but is an indication for psychotherapy.
