Introduction: In geriatrics, there are changes in structure and function results in histopathological, physiological and clinical skin changes. The conditions can cause morbidity and decreases the quality of life of patients. This study was the first study that provide the characteristics of geriatric skin disorders in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital Palembang. Methods: This study was descriptive observational with cross-sectional design using total sampling method performed among patients in Geriatric Outpatient Clinic, Dermatology and Venereology Outpatient Clinic and geriatric inpatient room in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital on July-September 2019. Results: Physiological skin changes in geriatrics include xerosis cutis (13,95%), seborrheic keratosis (13,17%), guttate hypomelanosis (8,5%), senile lentigen (6,97%), freckle (2,32%), periorbital hyperpigmentation (1,55%), senile purpura (0,77%) and poikiloderma civatte (0,77%). The most skin disorder found were lichen simplex chronicus (11,1%), pressure ulcers (9,25%), senile pruritus (8,32%), asteatotic dermatitis (6.47%) and candidiasis (3,7%). The most common comorbid condition were diabetes mellitus in 16 patients (22,5%), CVD in 7 patients (9,9%), hypertension in 6 patients (8,5%), AKI in 6 patients (8,5 %), and HHD in 4 patients (5,6%). Diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with xerosis cutis (p = 0,0007), senile pruritus (p = 0,015), and guttate hypomelanosis (p = 0,016). Conclusion: The most physiological skin changes found in geriatric patients in Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Hospital were xerosis cutis, seborrheic keratosis, and guttate hypomelanosis, while skin disorder were lichen simplex chronicus, pressure ulcer, and senile pruritus. Diabetes mellitus was significantly associated with skin disorders.

Background: The proportion of elderly population keeps on increasing. The number of dermatoses, and fungal infections, in turn continues to increase. There has been a recent upsurge of superficial cutaneous fungal infections. This observational cross sectional study aims to describe the clinico epidemiological pattern of patients presenting with the same, with some investigation as KOH mount and culture (in some cases) In total, 156 patients (103 males 53 females) of age between 60 and 84 years were evaluated, with mean duration of 10.3 months (male) and 12.9 months (female). Most patients came from farming families. The commonest coexisting disease was diabetes mellitus (type 2), followed by hypertension. The commonest site of infection was the body (tinea corporis, 56.4%), followed by onychomycosis (37.8%). This was followed respectively by tinea pedis (16.6%), tinea cruris (7.6%), tinea mannum (5%), tinea faciei (2.5%) balanoposthitis and oral candidiasis (0.6% each). It was seen that 86 patients (55.1%) had history of self/ non dermatologist prescribed medication. Most 62 (39.8%) of them had received over the counter steroid combinations (OTC, combination mixtures containing a mild to moderate potency steroid with clotrimazole/ miconazole and gentamycin/ ofloxacin). Most of the patients had extensive involvement as evident from the pattern of infection. Here, the scope of treating a patient with only topical therapy is excluded. Even then, an average patient (more than half as in the current study) attends the specialist after having received some or the other nonspecific therapy. Thus, proper referral and treatment with adequate drugs is pertinent. Methods: ?. Results: ?. Conclusion: ?

“…3,5 Acanthosis nigricans is common in obese and diabetic patients, therefore it is likely to be associated with acrocordon. 6 In this article, the lesion that we presenteddraws attention with ulcer development in its origin in the axillary region by undergoing traction as the result of gravity depending on the weight of this mass besides it is a giant acrochordon which is a rare form of such lesions.…”

ABS TRACT Acrochordons are benign skin lesions which are often seen in the neck and armpit. Acrochordons are also known by names such as fibroepithelial polyp, skin tags and soft fibroma. In routine clinical cases, acrochordons are generally smaller than 5 millimeters. Although it is rare, malignancy is observed in acrochordons. Here we present a 84 year old female patient with a giant mass of 17x13x4 cm under the left arm and an about 2x3 cm diameter skin ulcer due to the weight of the mass. We would like to remind that such ulcerations should not be ignored for malignant transformation.
