BACKGROUNDMost dermatological diseases generally occur elsewhere and also involve the genitalia. If the lesion is present exclusively on genitalia, it is a difficult task for the treating doctor to differentiate non venereal from venereal genital lesions.Aim is to study the clinical pattern and prevalence of non-venereal genital dermatoses. MATERIALS AND METHODSIt is a descriptive study of adult new cases with genital lesions attending Skin and STD Outpatient Clinic of Coimbatore Medical College Hospital for a period of one year from August 2013 to July 2014. Clearance was obtained from Ethical Committee. RESULTSA total of 150 cases (114 males, 36 females) with non-venereal genital dermatoses were encountered in our study. Prevalence of the non-venereal genital dermatoses in the study was 2.6 per 1000 cases. Male-to-Female ratio of patients in our study was 3.16:1. Majority of the patients were found in the age group of 33 to 42 years [42 (28%)]. Commonest non-venereal genital dermatosis was found to be scabies occurring in 19 (12.6%) patients. Pearly penile papule was found to be more common [10 (6.6%)] among benign conditions and normal variants. Among inflammatory conditions and miscellaneous groups, contact dermatitis and vitiligo were the commonest conditions respectively. One case of verrucous carcinoma of penis was seen. CONCLUSIONAll lesions occurring over genitalia are not sexually transmitted. Scabies was the most common non-venereal genital dermatosis in our study. Identifying the common non-venereal genital conditions will also remove venereophobia.

“…Urological abnormalities secondary to tick bites have rarely been reported in the literature (Table 1). [6][7][8][9][10][11] The majority of cases involve tick bites of the penis in men over the age of 30 years. To our knowledge, only 1 pediatric case has been published, specifically, a boy aged 5 years living in Greece who presented with pain and swelling in the right hemiscrotum.…”

Urological Evidence of Tick Bites in Children

Ticks pose a serious threat to individuals of all ages owing to numerous physical illnesses including chills, aches, and a rash. Tick-borne illnesses range from a mild fever that may be treated at home to a severe disease necessitating hospitalization. Children are at an increased risk of tick bites owing to to their exposure to tick-infested areas during the summer. We report 2 cases of boys aged 3 and 8 years who sustained tick bites to the hemiscrotum and penis. Overnight hospitalization and a course of antibiotics were mandatory. In the first case, the child experienced significant scrotal cellulitis with erythema and edema extending to the suprapubic area with induration of the right anterior scrotum at the site of the tick bite. A scrotal ultrasound demonstrated swelling of the scrotal wall. In the second case, considerable swelling and induration of the distal penis and glans, pruritis of the left groin and penis, and an erythematous rash over the entire anterior pelvis were observed. A high index of suspicion is warranted because a tick bite may present as penile edema. Pediatric emergency physicians should be aware of the risks associated with tick bites and accurately diagnose and initiate treatment to prevent morbidity and mortality.
