TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Chapter 30. Commonly Encountered Genital Dermatoses A1 - Bachmann, Laura Hinkle A2 - Klausner, Jeffrey D. A2 - Hook, Edward W. Y1 - 2007 N1 - T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment of Sexually Transmitted Diseases AB - Patients may seek a sexually transmitted disease (STD) evaluation for essentially anything they perceive as abnormal and that is located “below the belt.” Although the presence of an STD should always be considered and ruled out, many patients who seek care for a suspected STD have nonsexually transmitted genital conditions. For this reason, clinicians should have a basic understanding of the spectrum of both normal skin findings and common dermatologic conditions that arise in the genitalia so they can prescribe appropriate therapy, refer the patient to a dermatologist for additional evaluation and management when necessary, or provide reassurance.
