Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical and epidemiological aspects of black African adult women
affected by facial dermatosis.
Materials and Methods: It was a descriptive and retrospective study conducted at the Dermatovenereology
Department of the Teaching Hospital of Treichville. It was conducted over a period
of 5 years from January 2010 to December 2014. This study concerned women aged over
18 years who have attended consultation for any facial dermatosis and had a diagnosis after
a paraclinical and/or clinical examination. Have not been taken into account in the study, all
Caucasian women and all other women with uncompleted records which do not contain all the
epidemiological and clinical data required for the study. Data were entered through Epi InfoTM
versions 3.5.1 software and analysed with Excel 2013 software.
Results: During the 5 years, we registered 7,898 patients over 18-years-old, 1,192 of these
were affected by facial dermatosis that is 15.09%. The mean age was 37.7 ranging from 18 to
89-years-old. There were at least two facial dermatosis in 2.51% cases. The pigmentary disorders
occurred mostly in 24.7% followed by acne group and seborrheic dermatitis (19.5%). The
first three facial dermatosis of women were exogenous ochronosis, seborrheic dermatitis and
lichen planus respectively 16.7%, 10.7% and 10%.
Conclusion: Pigmentary disorders due to depigmentation practices are predominant. Ochronosis
exogenous, seborrheic dermatitis and acne are the most frequent.
