Pathologie cutanée chez le sujet âgé

This study reflects the frequency of mycoses, benign tumors and eczema in elderly patients. This is consistent with the results of other studies of the literature showing eczema as the predominant skin disease. The high prevalence of mycosis in our study may be explained by climatic conditions (heat, moisture). Pruritus seems to be frequent in geriatric patients. Skin disorders are an important source of morbidity in elderly patients.
