“…The prevalence of male non-venereal genital dermatoses was not low; in this study, it was 3.54/1000 cases. This was marginally more than a few other studies, such as 2.6/1000 population [2] and 30.8/10,000 male patients [1] from South India.…”

Objectives: Non-venereal genital dermatoses are genital dermatoses that are not sexually transmitted. It causes extreme anxiety in patients because venereal disease is often their primary concern. The aim was to study the clinical pattern of various non-venereal genital dermatoses in males aged 18–60 years. Methods: A cross-sectional clinical study was done among male patients between 18 and 60 years of age with non-venereal genital dermatoses attending the dermatology outpatient department of a tertiary care hospital in Eastern India. Patients clinically diagnosed with non-venereal genital dermatoses were included in the study after signing the informed consent thorough examination of the genital lesion was done with special relevance to the morphology, number, tenderness, regional lymph node involvement, etc. A complete physical and systemic examination was done. Associated skin lesions were noted. Investigations such as blood sugar, Tzanck smear, KOH mount, Gram stain, and histopathological examination were done in relevant cases. At the Venereal Diseases Research Laboratory, HIV tests were done to rule out STDs. Statistical analysis was done using the necessary software. Results: A total of 133 patients were included in the study. The commonest age group was 18–30 years. The most common [35%] disease was Candidal Balano-Posthitis. Married people were more affected. Diseases predominant in rural areas were LSA. Non-STD genital dermatoses are less more common in Muslims. Diabetes is common in both personal and family histories. Conclusion: For the differentiation of non-venereal genital dermatoses, apart from history and investigations, the clinical study such as age, residence, religion, and morphology of the lesions are very important. A clinician should have an unbiased approach towards genital conditions.

Introduction: Nonvenereal skin diseases are often confused with sexually transmitted diseases. It is responsible not only for the physician’s diagnostic dilemma but also for significant patient concerns. Identifying the cause or aggravating factors can save the patient from distress. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the clinical pattern and prevalence of nongenital diseases. Methods: All males attending the dermatology outpatient department in our hospital are included in the study after getting informed consent. Detailed history, including demographic data, chief complaints related to skin, any symptoms in genitalia, drug history, and history of sexual exposures, was recorded. Results: The prevalence of nonvenereal genital lesions during the period was 8.2% of patients attending the dermatology department. A total of 21% of nonvenereal genital dermatoses were studied in 82 patients. The most common ones encountered are pearly penile papules and tinea cruris, contributing 19.5% each. Vitiligo is the following most expected condition, involving 13.4% of patients. Among the total 82 patients with nonvenereal genital dermatoses, 65.8% had symptoms in external genitalia, and the rest of the 34.2% of patients did not have any complaints in genitalia. Conclusion: Among the 82 patients with nonvenereal dermatoses, 54 (65.85%) had symptoms in external genitalia. The study helped us understand the pattern and clinical characteristics of various nonvenereal genital dermatoses.

Background: All dermatoses affecting genitalia are not sexually transmitted. Wrongly labeling a patient as a case of venereal disease can have great psychosocial implications, apart from the resultant wrong treatment. It is necessary to have detailed knowledge and broader view while approaching genital lesions as it can be a nonvenereal disease. Objectives: The aim was to study the clinical patterns of nonvenereal male genital dermatoses. Materials and Methods: It was a cross-sectional observational study of male patients having nonvenereal genital dermatoses attending the Department of Dermatology for a period of 1 year from June 2016 to May 2017. Male patients with genital lesions were included in the study after taking their written consent in vernacular language. A detailed history and examination was carried out according to a prestructured pro forma. Investigations were done as and when required. Patients diagnosed with sexually transmitted disease were excluded from the study. Results: The study included 200 male patients having forty different nonvenereal genital dermatoses. Most patients belong to the age group of 19–40 years (46%), with a mean age of 36.47 years. Most of them were students (32%), were graduate (38.5%), and belonged to middle socioeconomic class (60.5%). Sixty percent of the patients were married. Common dermatoses encountered were scabies (27 [13.5%]), dermatophytoses (19 [9.5%]), scrotal dermatitis (16 [8%]), lichen planus (15 [7.5%]), vitiligo (12 [6%]), and psoriasis and pearly penile papules each with 10 (5%) cases. Other rare dermatoses were median raphe cyst, genital lentigenosis, granuloma annulare, nevus, cutaneous tuberculosis, and lichen sclerosus. Conclusions: Scabies was the most common nonvenereal genital dermatosis found in this study.
