A bird's eye view of the nature of dermato-venereological problems in India has been compiled from 228 reports from various sources. The patterns of diseases from different urban hospitals in India show a great uniformity. Parasitic diseases account for almost half the total cases, while the incidence of venereal diseases and allergic dermatoses is about 10-20% each. The remaining 400 and odd dermatologic problems account for 20% of outpatients.

Our findings confirmed that the respondents as well as their partners belonged to such localities that facilitated anonymity, casual and unstable relationships, more heterogeneity of community life, giving rise to promiscuity, and hence VD incidence. The place of sexual acts within as well as outside Delhi confirmed this statements. The inclusion of rural areas as maintaining VD population though on small scale, and providing venue of undesirable sexual indulgence, directly dialate the magnitude of the problem. If, similar facts were found elsewhere on larger scale this would demand first of all the extension of VD control programme even to the rural areas. Secondly, it would involve socio-medical sanctions, against the migrating population from rural to -the urban areas, as a control measure. This was only a sample study and findings are tentative and for generalisations larger samples may be taken up from other VD clinics and centres.
