A pilot study has been performed in order to assess the validity and reliability of the Skindex-29 instrument, a self-administered report which evaluates the quality of life of argentine population with cutaneous conditions. The sample consisted of one-hundred and fifty subjects, one hundred were patients and fifty were not.
