    TLDR In Freixo de Espada à Cinta, common skin conditions include melanocytic nevi, hemangiomas, and acne, with variations based on age and sex.
    The study conducted in Freixo de Espada à Cinta, Portugal, assessed the prevalence of various cutaneous lesions in a sample of 1,000 individuals. It found that 51.9% of participants were phototype III, and the most common conditions included melanocytic nevi (81.2%), hemangiomas (26.5%), and androgenetic alopecia (20.5%). The study revealed significant differences in the presence of certain lesions based on sex and age, with females having more nevi than males and an increase in nevi with age. Acne was prevalent in 46.2% of the 15-29 age group. The prevalence of psoriasis was consistent with other studies at about 1%, while atopic dermatitis was lower than in northern populations but higher than in English and American populations. Solar keratosis was notably higher in those over 60 years old, and no association was found between phototype and solar keratosis. Cutaneous tumors were observed in 0.7% of cases.
