When evaluating pediatric patients of color, it is essential to consider the unique diagnostic and treatment factors that apply to this population. Certain dermatologic conditions are more common in these patients, including postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, pityriasis alba, progressive macular hypomelanosis, tinea capitis, traction alopecia, keloids, hypertrophic scars, pseudofolliculitis barbae, acne keloidalis nuchae, and hidradenitis suppurativa. Furthermore, conditions such as vitiligo are more noticeable in people of color. This can lead to a significantly diminished quality of life, so these conditions should be quickly recognized and treated. Notably, inflammation can be difficult to recognize on the skin of people of color, which can lead to the underestimation of severity as well as inappropriate treatment. Treatment recommendations can also differ based on lifestyle or cultural norms, such as the use of tinted sunscreens and the consideration of hair care practices. Pediatricians should be aware of these conditions and treatment considerations to best treat pediatric patients of color. [Pediatr Ann. 2024;53(4):e146-e151.].

有色人种小儿皮肤科。


在评估有色人种儿科患者时，必须考虑适用于该人群的独特诊断和治疗因素。某些皮肤病在这些患者中更为常见，包括炎症后色素沉着过度、白糠疹、进行性黄斑黑色素减少、头癣、牵引性脱发、瘢痕疙瘩、肥厚性疤痕、须部假性毛囊炎、项部瘢痕疙瘩痤疮和化脓性汗腺炎。此外，白癜风等病症在有色人种中更为明显。这可能会导致生活质量显着下降，因此应该迅速识别和治疗这些情况。值得注意的是，有色人种皮肤上的炎症很难识别，这可能导致低估其严重程度以及不适当的治疗。治疗建议也可能因生活方式或文化规范而异，例如使用有色防晒霜和考虑头发护理方法。儿科医生应了解这些情况和治疗注意事项，以便最好地治疗有色人种儿科患者。 [小儿安。 2024；53(4)：e146-e151。]。
