Resumo—Los trastornos compulsivos en dermatología son variados e incluyen diversas afecciones, tales como tricotilomanía, onicofagia y escoriaciones neuróticas, entre otras. Se describen nueve pacientes con un trastorno autoinfligido de tipo compulsivo. Las lesiones artefactas estaban producidas por el hábito incontrolable y repetitivo de morderse y/o frotarse la piel de sectores localizados de las manos o de los dedos. Las lesiones consistían en nódulos hiperqueratósicos localizados especialmente en el dorso de las manos o de los dedos. El diagnóstico diferencial debe establecerse con otros tipos de callosidades.—Compulsive habits in dermatology are diverse and include several conditions, such as trichotillomania, onychophagia and neurotic excoriations among others.Nine patients with a self-inflicted, compulsive condition are described. The artefact lesions were produced by the uncontrollable and repetitive habit of biting and/or rubbing the skin of localized parts of their hands or fingers. The lesions mainly consisted of hyperkeratotic nodules especially located on the dorsum of the hands or fingers. Differential diagnosis should be done with other types of callosities.
