1Department of Community Medicine, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal University, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Background:
Differently-abled children may be particularly susceptible to skin disorders either as a direct consequence of their disability or due of lack awareness regarding personal and environmental hygiene.
Aim:
To study the prevalence of skin problems in differently-abled children.
Materials And Methods:
A total of 122 differently-abled children in two special schools were examined for this study. Details regarding the disabilities were obtained from the school records.
Results:
More than half (53.2%) of the children had skin problems. Infections and infestations, acne, and dermatitis were the common dermatoses encountered in the present study.
Conclusion:
Periodic skin examination is of vital importance for all people with disabilities to reach a proper diagnosis and to offer treatment. Health education for teachers and parents on maintenance of sound personal hygiene and a clean environment is also recommended.
