“…Nonetheless, we clearly showed that efficient DCNN training can develop a high‐level skin‐tumour classifier using a much smaller number of images than previously thought necessary, as long as the images were correctly labelled and preprocessed appropriately. This point is especially important when extending this system to develop a comprehensive skin disease classifier, as there are at least 2000 different skin diseases, including many rare skin conditions, for which it would be nearly impossible to accumulate a large number of images.…”

“…Dermatology is a prototypical medical specialty in which the management principle of “vital few and trivial many” is evident. There are over 2,000 skin diseases that may present to a physician, 54 yet surveys suggest that the bulk of skin diseases are made up of fewer than ten disorders. 11 Six conditions, including acne vulgaris, pityriasis versicolor, dermatophytosis, nevi, miliaria, and keloid/hypertrophic scars, accounted for 83% of the total number of dermatoses seen in this study.…”

BackgroundSkin disorders are common in adolescents, and the impact on quality of life can be enormous, particularly when viewed against the backdrop of the visibility of skin diseases and the psychologically vulnerable period of adolescence. However, few studies have documented the magnitude of skin disorders in this subset of individuals. We therefore estimated the point prevalence and pattern of dermatologic conditions in adolescents attending various secondary schools in Calabar, Southern Nigeria.MethodsUsing a structured questionnaire, relevant sociodemographic information was obtained from 1,447 teenage adolescents from eight secondary schools. Thereafter, a whole body examination was conducted to determine the presence and types of skin disorders seen.ResultsSkin diseases were seen in 929 students. The point prevalence was higher in males (72.1%) than in females (58.3%). Private schools had a higher prevalence than public schools. The six most common dermatoses were acne vulgaris, pityriasis versicolor, nevi, tinea, miliaria, and keloid/hypertrophic scars, and accounted for over 80% of the dermatoses seen.ConclusionThe point prevalence of dermatoses in senior secondary school adolescents was 64.2%. Although a large number of skin disorders were observed, only a handful accounted for a significant proportion of the diseases seen. This increases the ease of training community health workers in the recognition and treatment of common skin diseases. Age, race, and climatic factors are important determinants of skin diseases in adolescents in Nigeria.

“…It has been found that one- fourth of us (or more) suffer from at least one skin disease, a situation that constitutes a significant global burden of disease. [ 9 ] Economic burden of skin diseases is enormous and added to this easy visibility of dermatological illness has led to deterioration in the quality of life resulting in social handicap. [ 10 11 ]…”

Introduction:Skin diseases are a common problem among young adults. There is paucity of data about it among medical students. This study aimed to find out the pattern of skin disorders and to describe their association with various socio-demographic factors among medical students.Materials and Methods:This cross-sectional study was conducted in June 2011 in a medical college in Mangalore, Karnataka. Two-hundred and seventy eight medical students were chosen from the 4th, 6th and 8th semester through convenient sampling method. Data on hair and skin morbidities suffered over past 1 year and its associated factors were collected using a self-administered questionnaire.Results:Most of the participants 171 (61.5%) were of the age group 20-21 years and majority were females 148 (53.2%). The most common hair/skin morbidities suffered in the past one year were acne 185 (66.6%), hair loss 165 (59.3%), and sun tan 147 (52.9%). Fungal infection (P = 0.051) and severe type of acne (P = 0.041) were seen significantly more among males while hair morbidities like hair loss (P = 0.003), split ends of hairs (P < 0.0001) and dandruff (P =0.006) were seen significantly more among female students. Patterned baldness (P = 0.018) and sun tan (P < 0.0001) were significantly more among non-Mangalorean students than native Mangaloreans. Presence of dandruff was significantly associated with hair loss (P = 0.039) and usage of sunscreen was found to protect from developing sun tans (P = 0.049).Conclusion:Skin disorders, particularly the cosmetic problems are very common among medical students. Gender and place of origin were found to significantly influence the development of certain morbidities.
