Refugee camps provide a favorable climate for dermatological pathology, favored by promiscuity, lack of hygiene, precariousness, malnutrition, stress and adverse weather conditions. We present a retrospective study, mono-centric, spread over a period of three months, from 14/11/2014 to 14/02/2015, in the first Moroccan medical-surgical field hospital, located in Zaatari in Jordan, for the benefit of Syrian refugees. The purpose of our work is to study the socio-demographic characteristics of the consultants as well as the peculiarities of the dermatoses that live in this field.
