- W2398658697 abstract "To describe various skin manifestations directly or indirectly related to the prevalent cultural practices in the local community of black Africans of Sierra Leone.An observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF THE STUDY: Eastern province (Kenema) of Sierra Leone from November 2004 to October 2005.Local black patients of all age groups presenting in Dermatology Outpatient Department of Pak Field Hospital (established as a part of UN peacekeeping mission in Sierra Leone) were included. After clinical history and physical examination, lesions were photographed. Laboratory investigations were carried out when indicated. Skin diseases were broadly classified into two major categories i.e. related to cultural practices and not related to cultural practices. Non-black settlers in the area and UN troops were excluded. Data was recorded and analyzed by Microsoft Excel.A total of 3011 patients belonging to different local tribes having a variety of skin disorders were seen during the study period. Patients ranged from 1 month to 73 years of age with almost equal gender ratio. Vast majority were from very low socioeconomic group. Skin manifestations related to cultural practices were seen in more than 20% patients and most prevalent were alopecia and hypertrophic scars followed by pomade acne, pseudofolliculitis and contact dermatitis.Prevalent cultural practices in black Africans do play a role in causation of various skin disorders. For a dermatologist, it becomes imperative to be cognizant of the signs and symptoms associated with these practices for proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment." @default.
