Abstract:
Multiple environmental exposures may derange the regulatory and repair mechanisms of the skin and lead to dermatological disease. Skin problem is one of the major diseases for our country. But there has no actual document or data about this. In this study only lower class people of Bangladesh are included and seen the past history of skin patient. Most of them (94.33%) are bought medicine without prescription and taking those without any consultation. Resulting, it shocked because they don’t know, every medicine is poisons if it doesn’t use properly. The skin is one of the largest immunologic organs and is affected by both external and internal factors, as well as innate and adaptive immune responses. This analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on a total of 300 patients in which 69% were male and 31% female. On the study it was seen that the highest percent of respondents were suffering from itching (51%) and allergy (44.33%) at ring worm disease, blurred vision (69%) and dry mouth (43%) at eczema diseases, muscle weakness (71%) and urinary difficulties (53%) at scabies disease which is alarming. The majority portion of the respondents was facing different types of side effects when they took a certain drug’s due to lack of knowledge. Using a drug without prescription was increasing the chances of misusing a drug which result ultimately prompted the side effect, drug resistant and even increase the drug -drug interaction. So, need more awareness program to abolish this condition by the healthcare professional.
