Abstract

Introduction: the social judgment related to infections is a crucial factor when discussing skin diseases, and its expressions perpetuate suffering and affliction to stigmatized individuals. Objective: systematize data from scientific knowledge while aiming to discuss and understand the existing association between skin diseases related to infectious illnesses and social stigma. Method: consists in an integrative review of literature, performed in july 2022, in PubMed database, using Medical Subject Headings ‘’skin disease’’, ‘’social stigma’’ and ‘’communicable disease’’, and their equivalents in brazilian portuguese. PRISMA recommendation was used in this article and, then, the following guiding question was elaborated: how does the social stigma related to skin diseases of infectious illnesses show up? Inclusion criteria were original articles, published in the last five years, free and reviewed by pairs. Review articles, meta-analysis, articles written in languages other than portuguese and english and the ones that evade the guiding question were excluded. Therefore, three articles were chosen to integrate the final sample. Results: stigmatization of populations stricken by skin diseases related to infections may expose them to adverse stressful contexts, considering a social point of view. Conclusion: sanitary measures associated with systematizing information about treatment and transmission of skin diseases may reduce economical and social impacts.
