Abstract

BACKGROUND

The skin of newborns and infants of all races/ethnicity is more susceptible to skin barrier disruption than adult skin. This consensus paper offers insights into potential skincare implications for using gentle cleansers and moisturizers for skin of color (SOC) newborns, infants, and children.

METHODS

Six pediatric dermatologists and dermatologists used a Delphi communication technique to adopt 5 statements for SOC newborns, infants, and children on skin barrier integrity and the importance of skin care to promote a healthy skin barrier. Results: Regardless of ethnicity, newborn and infant skin is still developing and more susceptible to infections and chemical and thermal damage. A growing body of evidence supports skincare starting early in life, recognizing that the ongoing daily use of gentle cleansers and moisturizers containing barrier lipids, such as ceramides, promotes a healthy skin barrier. Understanding cultural differences in everyday skincare practices for SOC newborns, infants, and children is critical for developing an evidence base to substantiate skincare practices. Conclusions: Closing knowledge gaps in the clinical presentation, cultural differences, and approach to treating skin conditions using skincare for SOC newborns, infants, and children may improve patient outcomes.

摘要

背景

所有种族/族裔的新生儿和婴儿的皮肤比成人皮肤更容易受到皮肤屏障破坏的影响。本共识文件深入探讨了使用温和清洁剂和保湿剂来护理有色人种（SOC）新生儿、婴儿和儿童皮肤的潜在意义。

方法

六名儿科皮肤科医生和皮肤科医生使用 Delphi 沟通技术，就 SOC 新生儿、婴儿和儿童的皮肤屏障完整性以及皮肤护理对促进健康皮肤屏障的重要性，采用了 5 项声明。结果：无论种族如何，新生儿和婴儿的皮肤仍在发育中，更容易受到感染以及化学和热损伤的影响。越来越多的证据支持从生命早期开始进行皮肤护理，认识到持续日常使用含有屏障脂质（如神经酰胺）的温和清洁剂和保湿剂可以促进健康的皮肤屏障。了解 SOC 新生儿、婴儿和儿童日常皮肤护理实践中的文化差异，对于建立支持皮肤护理实践的证据基础至关重要。结论：缩小 SOC 新生儿、婴儿和儿童皮肤状况的临床表现、文化差异和治疗方法方面的知识差距，使用皮肤护理来改善患者的治疗效果。
