The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning/sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ/SGM) community is a growing population with unique lifestyles, sexual practices, beliefs, health issues, and concerns. Although significant advances have been achieved in recent years to establish better care for LGBTQ/SGM patients, they still face insurmountable stigmatization and health care inequality. Dermatologists play an important role in LGBTQ/SGM patients' well-being because they not only treat their skin conditions, but also help them achieve desirable physical characteristics. This article discusses historical perspectives and current state of LGBTQ/SGM dermatology and attempts to define directions for future research and improvement.
同性恋、双性恋、跨性别、变性者和疑问/双性恋或无性恋/性和性别少数群体（LGBTQ/SGM）是一个不断壮大的群体，他们有着独特的生活方式、性实践、信仰、健康问题和关注点。尽管近年来在为 LGBTQ/SGM 患者提供更好的护理方面取得了重大进展，但他们仍然面临着难以克服的污名化和医疗保健不平等。皮肤科医生在 LGBTQ/SGM 患者的健康中发挥着重要作用，因为他们不仅治疗他们的皮肤状况，还帮助他们实现理想的身体特征。本文讨论了 LGBTQ/SGM 皮肤科的历史观点和现状，并试图为未来的研究和改进定义方向。
