Infectious skin diseases significantly reduce the quality of life in people over the age of 60 and can be considered age-related due to involutive skin changes and aging of the body. Older people with a difference in the clinical picture of the disease from the classical manifestations are more susceptible to individual dermatoses. The elderly are most at risk of contracting scabies. The aim of the work is to analyze the awareness of people over the age of 60 about infectious skin diseases and their prevention measures. A multicenter, cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire in 2023−2025. The number of respondents over the age of 60 was 41 respondents, and all respondents were retirees in terms of social status. The study was conducted on the basis of Pirogov University and the Federal Medical Research Center of the FMBA of Russia, where, in case of hospitalization, patients were examined by a dermatovenerologist, and laboratory diagnostics were performed if infectious dermatoses were suspected. Some of the respondents did not demonstrate adherence to the principles of a healthy lifestyle: alcohol consumption is the highest among the risk factors for developing chronic noncommunicable diseases (75.0% for men and 40.0% for women). Respondents also note a high level of stress in daily life, 87.8%. The Internet is a source of information about a healthy lifestyle and the prevention of skin diseases for 34.1% of respondents. Among the surveyed respondents, there is a group of 20.0% who are insufficiently informed about "healthy skin" issues. Educating various groups of the population, increasing the level of medical literacy and medical activity can become a reserve for reducing the incidence rate and maintaining the incidence rate within controlled values.
