The spectrum of cutaneous disease occurring in ethnic populations is as broad and diverse as the ethnic populations themselves. Many skin diseases are seemingly common to most of the ethnic populations, however, including blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Native Americans. These diseases include acne vulgaris; pigmentary disorders; eczematous dermatitis; and infection caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Diseases of a more cosmetic nature have emerged over recent years and include the pigmentary disorders melasma and postinflammatory pigmentation, acne keloidalis nuchae, scalp and facial folliculitis, keloidal scarring, alopecia, and photoaging. The identification of cutaneous diseases affecting the rapidly increasing ethnic populations serves to focus resources both research and clinical in these areas.
不同种族人群中出现的皮肤疾病谱与种族人群本身一样广泛多样。然而，许多皮肤疾病在大多数种族人群中似乎都很常见，包括黑人、西班牙裔、亚洲人和美洲原住民。这些疾病包括寻常痤疮、色素沉着紊乱、湿疹性皮炎以及由细菌、真菌和病毒引起的感染。近年来出现了一些更具美容性质的疾病，包括色素沉着紊乱黄褐斑和炎症后色素沉着、瘢痕疙瘩性痤疮、头皮和面部毛囊炎、瘢痕疙瘩性瘢痕、脱发和光老化。确定影响迅速增长的种族人群的皮肤疾病有助于将研究和临床资源集中在这些领域。
