The koranic schools are in poor socio-economical conditions in Dakar and skin diseases are common in these conditions. The goal of our descriptive study was to determine the prevalence of skin diseases occurring in these situations. One hundred five boys from four koranic schools of Dakar were examined. Eighty percent of the examined boys were with unless one skin disease. Tinea capitis (42.66%), scabiosis (13.33%), pyoderma (15.33%), plantar keratodermia (100%) were the skin diseases. In 34.52% these skin disease were associated and antecedents of skin infections diseases were reported in 89.5% of boys. Atopic dermatitis was in 2.38% cases, keloid in 1.19%. The other frequent diseases were abdominal parasitosis (71.42%), umbilical hernia (6.66%). All skin diseases were improved only in 50% of cases after two months of treatment. Tinea capitis was cured in 4 months after treatment. The high prevalence and the chronicity of the skin disease were due to poor socio-economical conditions.
