Skin of Color & Pigmentary Disorders

Children of color are from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds associated with increased skin pigmentation including Black, LatinX, Asian, Pacific Islanders, Native American and all indigenous peoples. Focus will be placed upon skin diseases and conditions occurring more frequently in pediatric patients of color including unique clinical characteristics, treatment approaches, demographics or cultural caveats. Collaborative study will also focus on skin diseases with associated health disparity or cosmetic disfigurement. Emphasis will be placed on identification and analysis of disparities with a goal of health equity. Focus specifically on disorders of pigmentation will include heavy focus on vitiligo.

The Skin of Color & Pigmentary Disorders FSG at work, December 2021.

Co-Chairs

The Skin of Color & Pigmentary Disorders Focused Study Group is co-chaired by Nanette Silverberg, MD from Mount Sinai, and Candrice Heath, MD from Temple Health. Contact us if you’re interested in getting involved!
