STUDY ON DLQI SCORE IN NONVENERAL GENITAL DERMATOSIS

Abstract

Abstract 
Background: Genital dermatoses are a group of skin diseases that affect both the female and male 
genital areas. They can be classified into venereal (sexually transmitted) and nonvenereal (no 
transmission).  Nonvenereal genital dermatoses are classified based on their pathogenesis. They are 
inflammatory, infectious, congenital, benign and malignant conditions. The most common venereal 
genital dermatoses are herpes genitalis, syphilis, lymphogranuloma venereum, chancroid, 
anogenital verruca, granuloma inguinale and molluscum contagiosum. The most common 
nonvenereal genital dermatoses are vitiligo, fungal infection, lichen simplex chronicus, lichen 
sclerosus, psoriasis, folliculitis, lichen planus and contact dermatitis.
