Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

3.6K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

The Skin Microbiota

123
The human skin serves as a complex ecosystem inhabited by a diverse community of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. This microbiome plays a critical role in maintaining skin health and defending against pathogenic invaders. The composition of microbial communities varies significantly across different regions of the body, influenced primarily by the local levels of moisture and sebum.Regional Variation in Skin MicrobiotaCutibacterium acnes predominantly colonizes sebaceous...

Acne Infection01:27

Acne Infection

94
Acne is a multifactorial skin condition primarily affecting adolescents and young adults, with a global prevalence estimated to exceed 75% in this demographic. The condition is characterized by the formation of comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), papules, pustules, nodules, and, in severe cases, cysts, particularly in areas rich in sebaceous glands such as the face, neck, chest, and back. The pathogenesis involves increased sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, colonization by...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Health Services Research
  • Digital Health

Background:

  • Acne research often faces challenges in recruiting and retaining diverse populations.
  • Teledermatology presents a potential solution for overcoming geographical and logistical barriers in research participation.
  • Understanding the specific needs and concerns of transgender individuals is crucial for equitable research inclusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify barriers and facilitators for transgender individuals participating in teledermatology-based acne research.
  • To explore transgender individuals' perceptions of using artificial intelligence (AI) in acne research.
  • To inform the design of inclusive teledermatology research for acne among transgender populations.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study conducted from 2021-2023.
  • Recruited transgender and gender diverse individuals with acne undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy.
  • Analyzed semi-structured interviews using thematic analysis to explore participation factors.

Main Results:

  • 32 participants (transgender men, women, non-binary/other) with varying acne severity.
  • Key participation factors: access to equipment, comfort photographing sensitive areas, privacy concerns, and trust.
  • Opportunities: accessibility, flexibility, reduced costs of remote research, and in-clinic recruitment.
  • AI perceptions were mixed, with concerns about security and bias.

Conclusions:

  • Teledermatology can enhance recruitment and retention of transgender individuals in acne research.
  • Incorporating participant perspectives is vital for designing effective teledermatology acne research, especially for those on gender-affirming hormone therapy.
