Prevalence of skin diseases in civilian and military population in a Turkish military hospital in the central Black Sea region

Abstract: Preventive measures should be taken to improve the health of troops and reduce the prevalence of the common disorders such as tinea pedis, alopecia areata and callus. Troops should wear boots only when necessary in base camps. Clothing which reduces ventilation is not recommended. Depression and anxiety should be recognised and treated in soldiers with alopecia areata, as a solely dermatological approach without psychological support may reduce treatment success.

“…Olgularımız sektörel açıdan değerlendirildiğinde daha önce tanımlanan dermatit riski yüksek iş kollarında çalışmakta oldukları görüldü.
