Abstract:

RELEVANCE

Skin disorder cases in prisoners are caused by poor access to medical care, late detection, limitation in isolation rooms, and concerning health funding.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to investigate the profile of skin diseases among prisoners in a regional penitentiary.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

This cross-sectional study was held in one regional penitentiary in South Kalimantan, Indonesia, using sociodemographic and clinical data. The consultation requests were submitted by the registered prisoner with the dermatological disease. Then, doctors wrote the descriptions, diagnoses, and treatments. All data were collected from the inmate’s medical records that six dermatologists filled during medical consultation. All data analysis was carried out descriptively using the SPSS 23 program.

RESULTS

A total of 243 prisoners participated in this study. The major diagnoses were 119 cases (49%) of scabies, 31 cases (12.7%) of pyoderma, 14 cases (5.8%) of tinea cruris, 14 cases (5.8%) of tinea corporis, 9 cases (3.7%) of dermatitis and eczema, 8 cases (3.3%) of neurodermatitis, 5 cases (2.1%) of seborrheic dermatitis, 5 cases (2.1%) of allergic contact dermatitis, and 38 cases (15.6%) of other diagnoses.

CONCLUSION

We found that 188 participants (77%) had infectious skin diseases, and 55 (23%) had non-infectious skin diseases. Scabies, pyoderma, and tinea (cruris and capitis) were the most common skin diseases among prisoners in a regional penitentiary in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.
