Background: Dermatoses, also known as skin disorders, are commonly seen in pediatric patients. Studies have reported varying rates of skin disorders among children, ranging from 9-37%, with research in India indicating a prevalence of 8.7-35% among children below 18 years old. Although paediatric skin illnesses are very common, there aren't many studies on the subject worldwide, which makes planning health measures challenging. The aim of this study is to investigate the pattern of dermatoses in the pediatric age group and their clinical presentation. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the dermatology OPD of a teaching hospital over a period of twelve months and included preschool children between the ages of one to five years who attended or were referred to the dermatology clinic (OPD/IPD) for evaluation and treatment of skin disorders. Data was collected using a standardized data collection form that was completed by the attending dermatologist. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Frequencies and percentages were used to describe the prevalence of different dermatoses in the study population. Results: The study found that dermatoses in preschool children were common, with infections and infestations being the most frequent (45.9%), followed by eczema (22.0%) and hypersensitivity (14.3%). Bacterial infections were the most common type of infection (41.9%), while among eczema types, atopic dermatitis was the most prevalent (8.6%). Parasitic infections were also found to be common (22.4%). Physiological and transient non-infective neonatal dermatoses were reported in 3.6% of cases. The study highlights the need for early detection and management of dermatoses in preschool children to prevent complications and improve quality of life. Conclusion: The present study identified infections and infestations as the most common group of dermatoses in preschool children, with bacterial infections being the most common type of infection. These findings emphasize the need for appropriate prevention and management strategies for these conditions in preschool children.
