Background. Overcrowded, humid, and unhygienic prison environments increase the risk of skin diseases among inmates. Epidemiological data on skin diseases in Indonesian prisons are still limited; therefore, this study aims to describe the pattern of skin diseases among inmates at the Class IIA Women’s Penitentiary in Palembang. Methods. This study was an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted from July to September 2025. Samples were taken using total sampling methods from all inmates who had been screened by medical officers at the penitentiary. Data were collected through questionnaires and direct clinical examination by physicians, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test to determine the association between skin diseases and levels of hygiene, sanitation, and room density. Results. Of the 220 inmates, there were 253 cases of skin disease, as some inmates had more than one diagnosis. The ten most common skin diseases were melasma (25.7%), acne (17.0%), dermatophytosis (13.8%), dermatitis (9.5%), scabies (7.1%), pyoderma (3.6%), xerosis cutis (4.3%), miliaria (4.0%), freckles (3.2%), and urticaria (2.4%). The majority of inmates had good levels of hygiene and sanitation (97.3%). Scabies and dermatitis showed a significant association with hygiene and sanitation levels, respectively (p=0.009; p=0.033). Conclusion. Non-infectious skin diseases were more prevalent than infectious skin diseases among inmates of the Class IIA Women’s Penitentiary in Palembang. Hygiene and sanitation levels were associated with the occurrence of scabies and dermatitis, whereas room density was not significantly associated with other skin diseases. Keywords.
