Abstract:
In the context of the climate crisis, persons experiencing homelessness face a disproportionately increased risk of dermatologic disease. Contributing epidemiologic factors include increased baseline health susceptibilities, increased environmental exposures, and systemic barriers to climate resilience. Migrant populations, while distinct, can face overlapping challenges, with climate change acting as a housing crisis multiplier in both groups. Addressing these dermatologic impacts requires a coordinated approach from dermatologists globally.
