It was significantly worse in female patients, adolescents, students, and high\u2010socioeconomic level patients, in visible sites and genitalia, and in unstable cases. There was a significant positive correlation between the DLQI and disease duration (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.75, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001) and VES (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00.79, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a0.001).
