Abstract
Background: A number of dermatoses affect the genitalia in a unique and distinct manner. Nonvenereal dermatoses may not be restricted to genitalia alone; it may affect other body sites and mucous membranes as well. Dermatoses involving genital areas are not necessarily sexually transmitted. Skin lesions of the genitalia may be physiological, venereal, or nonvenereal in origin. Studies on genital dermatoses of only nonvenereal and noninfectious origin among adults are not commonly documented in India.
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the clinical pattern and frequency of noninfectious nonvenereal genital dermatoses.
Materials and methods: A total of 261 patients with noninfectious nonvenereal genital dermatoses attending tertiary care hospital were enrolled from August 2019-July 2020. Cases of more than 18 years of age who had given informed valid consent were included in the study, whereas venereal or infectious dermatoses were excluded from this study. The diagnosis was established based on a detailed history, examination, biopsy, and relevant investigations. Data collection was done using predesigned pro forma, and analysis was perfomed using MS Excel.
Results: Maximum participants were middle aged with a mean age of 43.38 ± 9.45 years. The most common nonvenereal genital dermatoses were vitiligo (23.37%), followed by physiological conditions (19%-92%), papulosquamous dermatosis (18.77%), lichen simplex chronicus (16.48%), premalignant conditions (6.51%), vesiculobullous conditions and benign conditions (4.98%) each, adverse cutaneous drug reactions (4.21%), and malignant conditions (0.77%). About 78.54% of participants had dermatosis over genitalia only. Focal vitiligo was the most common dermatosis involving only genitalia.
Conclusions: This study is novel as participants enrolled only of noninfectious, nonvenereal genital dermatoses among males.
背景：许多皮肤病都会以独特的方式影响生殖器。非性皮肤病可能不仅限于生殖器，还可能影响其他身体部位和粘膜。涉及生殖器部位的皮肤病不一定会通过性传播。生殖器皮损可能是生理性、性病性或非性病性的。在印度，有关成人非性病和非感染性生殖器皮肤病的研究并不多见：本研究旨在确定非感染性非性病生殖器皮肤病的临床模式和发病频率：在2019年8月至2020年7月期间，共登记了261名在三级医院就诊的非传染性非静脉性生殖器皮肤病患者。年龄超过18岁且知情同意的病例被纳入研究，性病或感染性皮肤病被排除在本研究之外。诊断是根据详细的病史、检查、活检和相关检查确定的。数据收集使用预先设计的表格，分析使用 MS Excel：大多数参与者为中年人，平均年龄（43.38±9.45）岁。最常见的非性生殖器皮肤病是白癜风（23.37%），其次是生理性皮肤病（19%-92%）、丘疹鳞屑性皮肤病（18.77%）、慢性单纯性苔藓（16.48%）、恶性肿瘤前病变（6.51%）、疱疹和良性病变（各占 4.98%）、皮肤药物不良反应（4.21%）和恶性病变（0.77%）。约 78.54%的参与者仅患有生殖器皮肤病。灶性白癜风是仅涉及生殖器的最常见皮肤病：这项研究很有新意，因为参与者中只有男性患有非感染性、非传染性生殖器皮肤病。
