Vulval dermatoses: A review of referrals to dermatology

Australas J Dermatol. 2024 Mar 13. doi: 10.1111/ajd.14232. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe undertook a retrospective observational review of patients referred to a tertiary dermatology department with vulval complaints over 12 months. The most common provisional diagnoses made by the referrer and final dermatology diagnoses were lichen sclerosus (54% and 38%), dermatitis (12.7% and 16.5%) and psoriasis (5.1% and 6.3%). Referrers may benefit from further education about skin diseases of the vulva, topical steroids for vulval complaints and the importance of clinical photography.PMID:38480994 | DOI:10.1111/ajd.14232
