Introduction: pediatric dermatoses constitute a heterogeneous group of skin diseases affecting children and adolescents, and nowadays there is an increase in this age group in dermatology consultations and they require comprehensive medical care.
Objective: to describe the behavior of the most frequent dermatoses in children and adolescents.
Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in the city of Pinar del Río in 2023. A probabilistic, simple random sample of 811 patients between the ages of zero and 19 years, who presented skin diseases, was used, using individual clinical histories and dermatological physical examination to obtain the information that led to the variables studied. The principles of medical ethics were taken into account.
Results: female sex and age group from five to 10 years old predominated, being skin phototype III the most evident due to dermatological affections. Among them, scabies, acne and cutaneous viruses were the most distinctive, showing a higher representation in individuals with white skin color. Regarding associated pathologies, dermatoses are more common in diabetic patients.
Conclusions: Early detection of skin diseases in children, with greater emphasis on those with related risk factors, will allow rapid intervention in their treatment. This will help to reduce the risk of complications and lasting effects, while improving the quality of life of these patients.
