Skin infections are among the most common devastating problems that affect the lives of many people especially in the rural areas of the state, and yet they are still receiving little attention by the various agencies of government and other stakeholders. This study focused on the prevalence of skin infection presented at Amanawa General Hospital, Sokoto. The data was obtained from the medical record register of the hospital from January-December 2014. A total of 16,569 cases, aged 1-59 years with skin infections were recorded during the period. Male patients constituted 7,388 (44.6%) and 9,179 (55.4%) were female. Fungal skin infections had the highest prevalence of 11,620 (70.0%) followed by bacterial skin infections (4,609); (28.0%) and then viral skin infections (340); (2.0 %). Fungal skin infections were more prevalent especially during the rainy (August , September and October) with 9.4%, 10.0% and 9.6 respectively and heat season (April, May and June) with 8.8%, 8.7% and 9.3% respectively, because fungi thrive well in warm or damp area. Therefore these findings will serve as additional public health information, reminder and the need for urgent measures by the state government, ministry of health, public health practitioners, and health policy makers to provide special treatment, preventive, control services in order to reduce the prevalence and to serve as a base line for further research of skin infections in the study area.
