“…[1,[6][7][8][9] Patients in these peripheral stations and difficult to reach terrains usually do not seek any specialized treatment for dermatological diseases, or are provided preliminary treatment by non-specialists. This is because of long distances from the health centres in some cases, but mostly because of non-availability of specialized dermatology services.…”

Infectious dermatoses were found statistically significantly more in community cases as compared to hospital patients while the opposite was the case with non-infectious dermatoses. The study emphasizes the need for providing frequent dermatology services to the community at the primary healthcare level so that the burden of dermatoses, especially infectious, may be reduced. Also, wider studies should be conducted in different regions in order to assess the actual magnitude of dermatological illnesses in the community.
