| description | Background: The objective of this study was to ascertain the pattern of dermatoses among adolescents attending the Dermatology Outpatient Department (OPD) at a tertiary care center in Manipur, Northeast India.
Methodology: The retrospective study was conducted among 3850 patients belonging to adolescent age group (10–19 years) from January to December 2014. They constituted 20.18% of the total OPD attendance during the study.
Results: Male to female ratio was 1:1. The study group was further divided into three categories based on age: early (10–13 years), middle (14–16 years), and late adolescence (17–19 years). Majority belonged to mid (36.3%) and late adolescence (36.64%) age groups. The dermatoses identified were classified into 13 broad categories. Infections were the most common dermatoses (25.5%), followed by sebaceous gland disorders (22.72%), eczemas (17.45%), infestations (17.03%), and urticaria (4.5%). Among infections, fungal infection (53.25%) was most common, followed by bacterial (24.59%) and viral infections (22.15%).
Conclusion: It was concluded that infections, infestations such as scabies and pediculosis, eczemas, and sebaceous gland disorders such as acne vulgaris were common dermatoses seen in the adolescent age group. |
