Objective To analyse the pattern of non-venereal dermatoses in males of different age groups.  Methods An observational study was conducted which included all male patients with genital dermatoses visiting the Outpatient Department of Skin and VD in a tertiary care centre of North India over a period of 12 months. Thorough history and general physical examination was performed. Investigations were done as per requirement.  Results 492 cases of non-venereal dermatoses were enrolled. The mean age of patients presenting was 35.33±14.50 years. 280 (56.91%) were infectious in origin, 106 (21.54%) were inflammatory, 62 (12.6%) were benign, 24 (4.87%) were pigmentary, 12 (2.43%) were pre-malignant, 6 (1.21%) were miscellaneous, 1 (0.2%) was congenital and 1 (0.2%) was malignant. Genital pruritus (70.12%) was the most common complaint. Penis was the most common site involved in 227 (46.13%) cases.  Conclusion Non venereal dermatoses of multifactorial etiologies are seen in males of different age groups. Treating physician should be well versed with various pattern of non-venereal dermatoses which may help to rule out several conditions and reach a correct diagnosis. ÂReferences
