In this report, 20,536 new outpatients who have visited the Department of Dermatology of Wonju Christian Hospital from Jan. 1st, 1980 to Dec. 31st, 1984 were analized. The results suggest that the age, sex, monthly and yearly distribution patterns of dermatoses in Wonju area are similar to those of other areas in Korea except that infective dermtoses(40.3%), especially scabies(9.8%) and herpes zoster(1.6%) are more common.
