Article Synopsis
- Poppers, or volatile alkyl nitrites, are inhaled by men who have sex with men (MSM) for their psychoactive effects and can cause a skin condition known as "poppers Dermatitis," which can manifest as irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) or allergic contact dermatitis (ACD).
- A study analyzing 13 articles and 18 patients found that most cases were male, with the most common diagnosis being ICD. The chemicals involved included amyl nitrite and butyl nitrite.
- The rashes typically affect the midface area, presenting as various forms such as yellow crusting or erythema, and dermatologists should consider this condition when patients present with similar symptoms, particularly in MSM populations
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) patients face health issues relevant to dermatologists, such as allergic contact dermatitis (ACD); however, there is a lack of information surrounding common allergens causing ACD that disproportionally affect SGM patients. Covidence, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were searched to identify relevant articles studying ACD in the SGM population. Common allergens associated with ACD in SGM patients include nitrates, fragrance mix, methylisothiazolinone, methylisothiazolinone-methylchloroisothiazolinone, topical antibiotics, and allergens seen in chest binders.

Objectives: To examine the demographic characteristics and intended career goals of graduating US allopathic medical students pursuing careers in dermatology compared with those pursuing other specialties and whether these differ by sex, race and ethnicity, and/or sexual orientation.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This secondary analysis of a repeated cross-sectional study included 58 077 graduating allopathic medical students using data from the 2016 to 2019 Association of American Medical Colleges Graduation Questionnaires.

Background And Objectives: Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is a key component in the primary care of transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) people. However, physicians are hesitant to initiate GAHT, citing a lack of knowledge. We developed an educational program for medical students and sought to investigate whether medical students' comfort and familiarity with GAHT could increase after a short interactive program.
