Bandage addiction
In a 1973 article in The Lancet (“Habituation to occlusive dressings”), two British doctors described patients who seemed to be addicted to wearing bandages, continuing to wear them years after their skin conditions had healed. Pittsburgh Press – July 29, 1973 Text from “Psychiatry and skin disease” by J.A. Cotterill, in Recent Advances in Dermatology. No. 6. (1983): Habituation to occlusive dressings is a halfway house between artefact and organic disease. Liddell & Cotterill (1973)* described 11 patients who became habituated to occlusive bandages which had been prescribed many years previously for either gravitational ulcers or eczema of the legs. Although the skin in all patients had returned to normal it was impossible to persuade these patients to abandon this occlusive therapy. All attempts at discharging the patient from the clinic failed. Bribes in the form of chocolates, cigars or alcohol were commonly brought to the clinic as inducements for the status quo to continue. The patients were usually lonely, socially isolated and, if male, unemployed. Four male patients in this group had successfully avoided work on account of their alleged skin disease for years. *Liddell K, Cotterill JA (1973). “Habituation to occlusive dressings.” Lancet 1: 1485-1486.
