Genodermatosis is a hereditary skin disease with three inherited modes including single gene inheritance, multiple gene inheritance and chromosome inheritance.[1] There are many different types of genodermatosis; the prevalence of genodermatosis ranges from 1 per 6000 people to 1 per 500,000 people.[2] Genodermatosis has influence on the texture, color and structure of skin cuticle and connective tissue, specific lesion site and clinical manifestations on the body vary depending on the type.[3] In the spite of the variety and complexity of genodermatosis, there are still some common methods that can help people diagnose.[4] After diagnosis, different types of genodermatosis require different levels of therapy including interventions, nursing interventions and treatments.[5] Among that, research of therapy for some new, complex and rare types are still in the developing stage.[6] The impact of genodermatosis not only can be seen in body but also can be seen in all aspects of patients' life, including but not limited to psychological, family life, economic conditions and social activities.[5][7] Accordingly, the patients need treatment, support and help in these areas.[5]
