Self-medication is said to be one of the causes of resistance. Knowledge of self-medication practices is meagre, necessitating this study. Aim The aim of this study is to ascertain the self-medication behaviour of dermatophytosis patients, identify the factors predicting it, and elucidate the patterns of self-medication followed by dermatophytosis patients. Methods This study was conducted by recruiting patients with dermatophytosis as cases and patients with other dermatoses as controls. Self-medication frequency, clinicodemographic details, and patterns of self-medication were entered into a predesigned proforma. Results A total of 171 patients and 207 controls were recruited in the study. The total proportion of patients who self-medicated among all recruited patients was 21.7% (95% CI: 0.1764,0.2619). There was a significant difference in the proportion of those who self-medicate between dermatophytosis patients (36.8%) and other dermatological problems (9.2%), with more self-medication happening among those with dermatophytosis (P< 0.001). Topical antifungal cream was the most common medicine used for self-medication. There was no significant difference in the proportion of those who self-medicated and those who did not, in all four classes of diagnosis, i.e., naïve dermatophytosis, chronic dermatophytosis, chronic and recurrent dermatophytosis, and chronic and relapsed dermatophytosis Limitations There could be recall bias in the answers of the participants. There was no follow-up to assess outcomes of self-medication. Conclusion The proportion of dermatophytosis patients who self-medicate is lower than in previous studies from other parts of India. Similar studies from other parts of India may help us confirm and understand the geographical reasons for the differences in proportions across the country.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"278-284"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146144290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Objectives To describe the clinical and histopathological features of facial granulomatous lesions and their clinical mimics, and evaluate the utility of clinico-pathological correlation in making the final diagnosis. Methods This was a cross-sectional study including 77 patients with clinically suspected granulomatous skin lesions on the face. Diagnosis was based on clinico-pathological features, and where required, ancillary investigations and/or therapeutic trial. Clinico-pathological correlation was classified as concordant, discordant, or non-contributory. Results A definitive diagnosis could be made in 70 (91%) cases - 58 (75%) based on clinico-pathological correlation and 12 (16%) on additional ancillary investigations and/or therapeutic trial, while 7 (9%) cases remained undiagnosed. The 70 diagnosed cases included 60 (86%) granulomatous and 10 (14%) non-granulomatous dermatoses. Orofacial granulomatosis (n=25), leprosy (n=15), and sarcoidosis (n=10) accounted for >80% of granulomatous lesions, while pseudolymphoma and lupus erythematosus (4 cases each) were the most common non-granulomatous diseases. Histopathology was concordant with clinical diagnosis in 57 (74%) cases, discordant in 8 (10%) cases, and non-contributory in 12 (16%) cases. In cases with two or more clinical differential diagnoses (n=35), histopathology aided the diagnostic decision process in 20 (57%) cases. Clinically, swellings and lip involvement favoured granulomatous lesions, while follicular plugging and nose involvement were more common in non-granulomatous lesions. Among granulomatous lesions, macules, plaques, and large (>5 cm) plaques, scaling, and forehead and nose/peri-nasal area involvement were more common in the infectious group, while swelling and lip involvement were more common in the non-infectious group (p<0.05). Limitations A relatively small number of non-granulomatous and some granulomatous dermatoses Conclusion Granulomatous skin lesions on the face can be a diagnostic dilemma with varied clinical morphologies and histological patterns. A small subset remains undiagnosed despite comprehensive evaluation. Though not definitive in all cases, histopathology remains a valuable diagnostic tool, particularly in clinically challenging cases. Diagnostic yield can be increased by integrating ancillary investigations and therapeutic trial.</p>","PeriodicalId":50376,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Dermatology Venereology & Leprology","volume":" ","pages":"197-205"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146144674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
