Vulvar Dermatoses in Libyan Adult Patients

Vulvar dermatoses are common problems in women and they are associated with significant morbidity. Their frequency and importance are often underestimated. In a prospective study we evaluated 200 adult females presenting vulvar symptoms and determined the spectrum and frequency of vulvar dermatoses in a Libyan population. Mean age was 38 years, 90% was married and 5% was pregnant ladies. The commonest condition was vulvovaginal candidiasis (22%) followed by genital warts (19%), bacterial infections (15%) contact dermatitis (11%), lichen simplex chronicus (8%) and other conditions.
