The Sociotype of Dermatological Patients: Assessing the Social Burden of Skin Disease
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This is a very interesting study. The psychological burden caused by dermatological disorders is enormous and hopefully gains more and more attention in order to improve interdisciplinary care of "skin patients".
Presented sociotype questionnaire (SOCQ) seems to be a very innovative and extremely helpful in evaluation of social burden of skin diseases. Functioning in the society seems to be crucial for the contemporary human being. Pandemia demonstrated this importance to the highest degree.
The Authors very modestly underline the their "small sample" and other questionnaires available. I do agree with that but information gathered by the SOCQ at this stage is very promising and inevitably deserves to be delivered to the greater audience.

Reviewer 2 Report
The article is interesting and well researched, however it partly provides the same data, albeit expanded, as in a previously published article written by the same authors (https://doi.org/10.1111/jdv.14696). This particular article is not mentioned in the bibliography, I think it should be cited, if compatible with the journal's rules.

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you very much for your time and valuable feedback on our manuscript.
We completely agree with you about our previous letter to the editor which was published in the JEADV being included as a reference. We have done this and submitted the corrected manuscript to the editorial office.
It now appears as reference 14 at the end of the second paragraph of the Introduction.
Thank you and kind regards,
The Authors
