Abstract
The 30 most common diagnoses encountered in this study of office practice of dermatology are analyzed by the sex and age of the patients and by the seasonal incidence of the dermatoses. Office visits by women exceeded those by men significantly in acne, neurodermatitis, nevus, alopecia, wart, hemangioma, and keloid. Patient visits by men exceeded those by women in the cases of epithelioma, fungus group, and pyoderma. Warts brought in more women than all other diagnoses except acne, eczematoid dermatitis, and combined venenatas. Significant seasonal variations were observed in acne, epithelioma, the eczematoid group, warts, neurodermatitis, pityriasis rosea, and the venenatas. The largest group of patients, those in the 10-19 age group accounted for 19.5% of the total. Those of age 60 and over ranked second, followed closely by those of the age 20 to 39. Patients with acne, psoriasis, and epithelioma had the highest ratio of return visits to initial visits.
