Abstract
Aim and Objectives: To study the clinical pattern, aectiological factors, age/sex wise distribution, and the percentage of various non-venereal genital dermatoses and to assess which dermatoses have a predilection for external genitalia or as a part of generalized involvement. Methods: A series of 100 adult patients with non-venereal dermatoses of the external genitalia were screened amongst patients attending skin and venereal disease OPD/IPD at teaching institute in Mumbai. Patients having age below 12 years were excluded from the study. Results: The majority of patients (79%) were in age group of 21-50 years and which constitutes about 3/4th bulk of total patients. Non-venereal genital dermatoses were more commonly observed in males (70%) with a male: female ratio of 2.33:1. The commonest presenting symptoms were pruritus (30%), discoloration of skin and mucosa (15%), peeling of skin (17%), sore (12%) and growth (11%). Inflammatory disorders comprised about more than half of the cases (58%), infection and infestation (23%), benign tumors and cysts (11%), pigmentary disorders (7%). The commonest genital dermatoses was psoriasis (17%) followed by superficial dermatophytosis (16%), stevens-johnson syndrome (7%), pemphigus vulgaris (7%), steatocystoma multiplex (5%) and vitiligo (5%). Conclusion: The study has been quite useful in understanding the clinical and aetiological characteristics of various types of non-venereal dermatoses in adults.
