Dermatological Health Status in Southern Rajasthan: Gender, Socioeconomic Status, and Disease Duration

In a tribal region in Southern Rajasthan, 105 dermatological patients participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study to examine their illness and quality of life. There were 56 men and 49 women in the sample. With 42 cases of dermatitis and 15 cases of psoriasis, respectively, these two disorders were the most common. Most skin problems (63 individuals) persisted for six months to a year. Only a tiny percentage (18 instances) had genital involvement. According to the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI), intermediate severity was the most prevalent and showed substantial consequences on quality of life. The study emphasises how significantly skin illnesses impair patients’ quality of life.
