Association of dermatoses with duration and quantum of alcohol intake: A comparative cross-sectional study

Abstract: Background:Chronic alcohol intake impacts skin directly, through organ dysfunction or by modifying preexisting dermatoses. However, dermatoses afflicting chronic alcoholics figure in a few studies only.Aim:This study aims to correlate the spectrum of dermatoses in chronic alcoholics with the quantum/duration of alcohol intake and raised liver transaminases.Materials and Methods:Adult males, totaling 196, ascertained to fulfill the Royal College of Psychiatry criteria for chronic alcoholism by the de-addiction … Show more

“…Chronic alcohol use is linked to a variety of skin conditions and the earliest clinical manifestations of alcohol use disorder are cutaneous [46]. There is a known association between regular alcohol use and SD, likely resulting from immunosuppression, malnutrition, poor hygiene, vitamin B deficiency, and other confounders [17,18,19,20]. One study did not find an association between regular alcohol use and SD adjusted for possible confounders, including demographic, socioeconomic, and medical information, calling into doubt conclusions drawn from unadjusted studies [10].…”

“…They found an inverse relationship between SD prevalence and duration of alcohol intake, SD prevalence is inversely related to the duration of alcohol intake, meaning those with fewer years of alcohol use (P < .001) were more likely to have SD [17]. when looking at an older population [17].…”
