Abstract:
Several diseases exhibit a bimodal incidence pattern, accounting for the disease burden in two different age groups. Several aspects related to these diseases, such as etiopathogenesis, clinical features, management decisions, disease course, and prognosis, may vary between the two age groups, and awareness of the same is indispensable for clinicians. This review endeavors to shed light on the clinical and epidemiological aspects related to various dermatoses exhibiting a bimodal age distribution pattern.
