Background:Nonvenereal dermatoses tend to create confusion from venereal dermatoses. This may be responsible for considerable concern to the patient as well as may cause diagnostic dilemma to the physicians. Nonvenereal dermatoses may not be restricted to genitalia alone; it may affect skin and mucous membrane also. Most of the patients with genital lesions had apprehension of suffering from some venereal disorders.Aim:The aim was to determine clinical and epidemiological pattern of nonvenereal dermatoses of male external genitalia.Materials and Methods:This was a descriptive study of 100 consecutive adult male patients with nonvenereal genital dermatoses attending skin and STD OPD at J A Group of Hospitals, Gwalior. Cases having any venereal dermatoses were excluded from this study.Results:The study included 100 male patients with nonvenereal genital lesions. A total of sixteen nonvenereal genital dermatoses were noted. The most common nonvenereal genital dermatoses were vitiligo (18%), pearly penile papule (16%), fixed drug eruptions (12%), scabies (10%), scrotal dermatitis (9%) and lichen planus (9%). Other dermatoses included sebaceous cyst, psoriasis, lichen sclerosus, plasma cell balanitis or Zoon's balanitis, granuloma annulare, lichen nitidus, lymphangioma circumscriptum, papulo-necrotic tuberculid, squamous cell carcinoma and tinea infections. The age ranged from 18 years to 65 years with majority in the age group of 21-30 years (40%).Conclusion:This study highlights the importance of diagnosing common nonvenereal genital dermatoses. It also helps in avoiding the general misconception that all genital lesions are sexually transmitted.

Background: Dermatoses involving genital areas are not always sexually transmitted. The diseases, which are not sexually transmitted, are referred as nonvenereal dermatoses. These disorders are the cause of considerable concern to patients causing mental distress and guilt feeling in them. Nonvenereal dermatoses are quiet often a diagnostic dilemma to the treating physician also. The aim was to determine clinical and epidemiological pattern of nonvenereal dermatoses of male external genitalia.Methods: This was a descriptive study of 50 consecutive male patients over age of 18 years, with genital lesions of nonvenereal origin, attending the skin outpatient department of BTGH, Kalaburagi. Study was done for a period of 6 months.Results: The study included 50 male patients with nonvenereal genital lesions. A total of 14 nonvenereal genital dermatoses were noted. The most common nonvenereal genital dermatoses were vitiligo (20%), fixed drug eruptions (16%), scabies (14%), pearly penile papule (10%), and dermatophytoses (10%). Other dermatoses included psoriasis, plasma cell balanitis or Zoon's balanitis, lichen simplex chronicus, lymphangioma circumscriptum, squamous cell carcinoma, scrotal dermatitis, lichen planus, steatocystoma multiplex and candidiasis.Conclusions:This study helps in understanding the etiological causes of nonvenereal genital dermatoses and their pattern in this region.
