Article Synopsis
- A study reviewing sunscreen-related publications found that only 5.3% of the 5,927 articles specifically addressed skin of color (SOC) despite the growing awareness of this issue since 2007.
- The majority of SOC articles focus on sunscreen knowledge and patient behaviors (29%), with only a small fraction (5%) reporting clinical trials; common conditions discussed include melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Although articles on SOC increased in 2022, the overall gap in research highlights the need for more evidence to support discussions on sunscreen use among darker skin types in clinical settings.
Objective: There are clinical differences in healthy skin requirements and skin-aging features by race and ethnicity. However, individuals of color are underrepresented in dermatology-related medical information. We sought to gather information from women of color regarding their attitudes about the importance of the prevention of skin aging, available information, and perception of representation in skin-aging prevention information.
