Dermatology for pediatric skin of color is the application of dermatology to the genetically diverse and distinctive segment of the pediatric population that includes children of non-White racial and ethnic groups with increased pigmentation including individuals of Asian, Hispanic/LatinX, African, Native American, Pacific Island descent, indigenous people among others with overlap in particular individuals, and mixtures thereof. The discipline of pediatric skin of color can be challenging with difficulty in diagnosis of common conditions due to underlying pigmentation, variations in common hair styling practices, and differences in demographics of cutaneous disease. Whereas some conditions are more common in children of color, other conditions have nuances in clinical appearance and therapeutics with regard to skin color. This article, the second of the series, focuses on inflammatory skin disease nuances, melanocytic disorders, and hypopigmented mycosis fungoides.
针对有色人种儿童的皮肤病学是将皮肤病学应用于儿科人群中基因多样且独特的部分,这部分人群包括非白人种族和族裔群体中色素沉着增加的儿童,如亚洲、西班牙裔/拉丁裔、非洲、美洲原住民、太平洋岛民后裔、原住民等,特别是个体之间存在重叠以及混合情况。有色人种儿童皮肤病学这一学科可能具有挑战性,因为潜在色素沉着会导致常见病症诊断困难,常见发型习惯存在差异,以及皮肤疾病的人口统计学特征有所不同。虽然某些病症在有色人种儿童中更为常见,但其他病症在临床表现和治疗方面因肤色而存在细微差别。本文是该系列的第二篇,重点关注炎症性皮肤病的细微差别、黑素细胞疾病和色素减退性蕈样肉芽肿。
