Description

The discipline of dermatology has experienced notable progress, leading to a diverse array of therapeutic methods for various dermatological disorders. The aforementioned treatments have been found to be efficacious in addressing the dermatological issues experienced by patients, consequently enhancing their overall quality of life. Nevertheless, it is imperative to acknowledge the potential adverse outcomes and intricacies that may ensue as a result of these therapeutic procedures. The present study aims to investigate the prevalence rates of different dermatological illnesses among the population of India. Nerurkar and colleagues. A study conducted by researchers in 2016 studied the topic. The study's results indicated that dermatitis, urticaria, fungal skin infections, acne, alopecia, psoriasis, skin cancer, and skin adverse drug reactions were recognized as the prevailing dermatological problems. The utilization of topical glucocorticoids has brought about substantial changes in the realm of dermatological therapy and is frequently regarded as a fundamental element in the management of inflammatory skin disorders. While these treatments have demonstrated efficacy in the management of dermatological problems, they are not without associated adverse effects and repercussions. Complications can be classified into two primary categories: infectious complications and non-infectious problems. The prevalence of infectious issues arising from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections is a significant area of concern. These infections may arise as a result of insufficient sterilizing methods or inadequate hygiene standards employed during medical operations. Adhering to stringent cleaning and sterility protocols is of utmost importance in order to minimize the risk of infectious consequences. It is important to highlight that alongside viral complications, non-infectious ramifications may also arise after dermatological interventions. Non-communicable outcomes largely encompass dermatological signs, such as the development of granulomas and microabscesses, as well as typical localized skin reactions, including erythema, pruritus, and paresthesia (Scaturro et al., 2023). The variability of these results may necessitate additional intervention or modifications to the therapy regimen.
