Abstract :

In general, people from the Arabian countries have rich history, tribal traditions and religious beliefs that are involved in all aspects of their lives. They practice them in a daily basis as such practices constitute an integral part of their socio-religious-cultural fabric. As a result, numerous potential cutaneous findings may develop and without proper cultural awareness; diagnosis and treatment may be difficult. We present the secondary dermatosis resulting from the traditional habits such as cupping, cauterization and consanguineous marriages and explain the impact of the religious beliefs in particular; praying, pilgrimage and covering the women��?s face on the skin.
