Chhaya Kalamkar, Divyank Pathak

Introduction: Skin conditions can provide diagnostic hints for serious systemic illnesses. Numerous skin conditions, such as psoriasis, acne vulgaris, pityriasis alba, and others, may be promptly identified based on their clinical characteristics and need little to no further testing. The goal of the current investigation was to identify skin infections in school-age children. Methods: 860 schoolchildren of both sexes were included. Everyone was made aware of the research. The institutional ethics committee granted ethical approval. Name, age, gender, and other such details were noted. Every student had a general examination. To evaluate any skin conditions, a skin examination was performed. Results: age group 10-12 years had 137 boys and 157 girls, age group 12-14 years had 96 boys and 121 girls,age group 14-16 years had 167 boys and 181 girls. The difference was non- significant (P>0.05). Conclusions: Skin infections are particularly common among school-age children. Maintaining good hygiene is necessary at school as well as at home. Mothers' education is crucial for preserving personal cleanliness.
