Background: Knowledge of the frequency and distribution of dermatoses in the male genital area and the effect of circumcision on these two factors are helpful guides to a correct diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of genital dermatoses in circumcised men.Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on all circumcised men complaining about skin lesions in their genital area. Results: Overall, 355 men with skin lesions in their genital area were enrolled in this study. All of them were circumcised for religious reasons. The mean age of the patients was 31.4±11.5 years. Most skin lesions were seen in the age group 20-29 years (152 cases, 42%). Genital warts were the most common disease (60 cases, 16.9%) followed by dermatitis (38 cases, 10.7%), lichen planus (36 cases, 10.1%), and scabies (36 cases, 10.1%). The most common site for genital lesions was the penile shaft (155 cases, 43.7%). Genital warts were more common on the pubic area, penile shaft, and penoscrotal and peno-pubic junction. We did not observe any cases of balanitis in our study.Conclusions: Genital warts were the most common disease among our cases. Inflammatory dermatoses such as psoriasis and balanitis were less common in our population comparedwith other studies.

Background: Cryotherapy is one of the most common and effective treatments of anogenital warts, and trichloroacetic acid is one of the methods commonly used. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of cryotherapy and trichloroacetic acid in the treatment of anogenital warts.Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on patients with anogenital warts. The patients were divided into two groups; one group was treated with liquid nitrogen and theother with 70% trichloroacetic acid. In both groups, the treatment was done every two weeks until complete disappearance of the lesions or for 6 sessions.Results: In this study, 68 patients with anogenital warts were studied. After the 6th session, the cure rate of in the patients treated with trichloroacetic acid (94.1%) was higher than the patients treated with cryotherapy (85.3%) (P>0.05).Conclusion: It seems that cryotherapy and trichloroacetic acid therapy have similar results in the treatment of anogenital warts.

Background: Fixed drug eruption (FDE) is an uncommon adverse reaction to medications. Mucosal areas, particularly the male genitalia, are favored sites. To our knowledge, no study has investigated the causative agent(s) in FDE occurring on male genitals of Iranian patients. So, we conducted a study to determine the most common agents and areas of involvement in fixed genital drug eruption of male patients.Methods: Diagnosis of FDE was supported by a positive history and physical examination. Data including age, site of lesions, time interval between drug administration and FDE development was collected and analyzed.Results: The age range of the 36 male patients was 17 to 60 years with a mean age ± standard deviation of 36.1±10.9 years. The most common causative drug was co-trimoxazole in 33 patients (91.7%). In the genital area, the most frequent involved site was the glans penis in 22 patients (61.1%), followed by the penis shaft in 11 patients (30.6 %) and the scrotum in 2 patients (5.6%).Conclusion: The most common causative drug is co-trimoxazole and the most common site is the glans penis.

Background: Exfoliative dermatitis is a rare disorder with several etiologic factors. The frequency of different etiologies varies in the medical literatures. The purpose of this study was to reveal the demographic characteristic and etiologies of exfoliative dermatitis in our department.Method: We reviewed the records of the patients who were admitted to the dermatology ward of Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad, Iran, with a diagnosis of exfoliative dermatitis in a twenty-year period (1982-2002). Age, gender, the cause of exfoliative dermatitis, and the most probable drug cause were studied. Result: Fifty-nine cases were included in the study. Male-female ratio was 1.27:1. The mean age of the patients was 50.11±19.37. The most common causes were psoriasis (40.7%), drugs (18.6%) and lymphoma (18.6%). The most common drugs that caused exfoliative dermatitis were co-trimoxazole (27.27%), carbamazepine (18.18%), and gold salts (18.18%). Conclusion: The most frequent of underlying cause of exfoliative dermatitis in our series was psoriasis. Co-trimoxazole was the most common drug that caused exfoliative dermatitis.
