Anything that causes irritation of the skin,clogging, or inflammation of the skin leads to symptoms such as redness, swelling, burning sensation, and varying degrees of itching. Materials and Methods : A total of 150 cases were included in the study for a period of one year. All the patients with various skin lesions with complaints of itching, redness and pain/painless were included in the study. Age group included in the study was ranged from 15 years to 64 years. Results : Out of 150 cases, most of the cases were noted in females than male, 58 cases in males and 92 cases in females. Male to Female ratio 1:1.6. In our study the histopathological examination turned out to be the most important diagnostic aid in skin lesions as most of the clinical diagnoses were not accurate- which could be due to the similar way of presentation of various lesions and close relation with the other skin lesions. Conclusion : Most of the skin lesions mimic each other due to the site and symptoms of presentation. In such case histopathological examination of the biopsy tissue gives a confirmed diagnosis.
