title: An overview of sexually transmitted diseases. Part II.
abstract: Sexually transmitted diseases are a persistent problem in the United States and throughout the world. Many of these infections involve the skin and may be encountered in the field of dermatology. This 3-part review highlights the cutaneous features, diagnosis, and treatment of 11 of the most common sexually transmitted diseases, other than AIDS. The second part of this series focuses on anogenital warts, chronic viral hepatitis, molluscum contagiosum, scabies, and pediculosis pubis. Additional features, such as epidemiology and transmission of the organism, are discussed when applicable. (J Am Acad Dermatol 1999;41:661-77.)
