A total of 114 presenting diseases were recorded. The most common skin disease in the study population was dermatitis (unspecified) (88\/769, 11.4%), followed by atopic dermatitis (76\/769, 9.8%) and infantile hemangioma (72\/769, 9.3%). There was a total of 55 (48.2%) misdiagnosed diseases. Some unique cutaneous diseases were undiagnosed because of their rarity. However, the percentages of common cutaneous diseases, such as tinea capitis and molluscum contagiosum, which had been misdiagnosed, were also high (62.50% [95% confidence interval\u2009=\u200924.49\u201391.48] and 71.43% [95% confidence interval\u2009=\u200929.04\u201396.33], respectively).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A large percentage of misdiagnoses of common cutaneous diseases may be due to general pediatricians being undereducated in the field of dermatology.
