Common Dermatoses in infants in a known population
Dr. Gaurav Mandhan

Introduction- Skin diseases pose a significant health concern in the paediatric population, contributing to substantial morbidity. They account for 30% of all outpatient visits to paediatricians, and 30% of dermatologist visits involve children. Skin conditions in children can manifest as transient or chronic and recurrent, with chronic dermatoses often causing significant morbidity and psychological distress. Materials and methods-The study on the distribution of dermatoses in infants employed a cross-sectional design involving a sample of 100 participants. Infants were carefully examined for the presence of various dermatoses, including general, local, and vascular conditions. Data analysis was done using SSPS software. Results- This distribution highlights the common occurrence of Erythema toxicum neonatorum and Crystalline miliaria among the participants. The presence of various local dermatoses such as Diaper dermatitis and Cradle cap underscores the importance of proper skin care practices in infants. Conclusion-The findings underscore the importance of early detection and management of dermatoses in infants to ensure their skin health and overall well-being.
