Learning Objectives:
Following this course, the attendee should be able to:
- Identify skin and hair disorders that disproportionately affect people of Asian, African and Hispanic descent
- Recognize the environmental and genetic factors that that may lead to increased morbidity and mortality in these populations
- Develop effective management plans for addressing these disorders
Description:
African Americans, Hispanics and Asians are at an increased risk for many systemic diseases with skin manifestations such as lupus, scleroderma, sarcoidosis, mycosis fungoides and hidradenitis and often experience a poorer outcome. Yet, the medical implications of these disorders are conspicuously absent from the discussions of the care of patients with ‘skin of color’. This forum will focus on the ethnic differences in the diagnosis and management of systemic autoimmune diseases, alopecia and hair care practices, contact dermatitis, and mycosis fungoides in multicultural patients and present current data on management strategies.
