February 2024
L'Oreal Research and Innovation, Clichy, France.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses software designed to predict the effects of aging on physical appearance, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of skin aging factors.
- It outlines the creation of Causal Bayesian Belief Networks (CBBNs) built with input from experienced dermatologists to forecast skin aging over a 15-year period, focusing on various skin types.
- The results suggest the model can effectively predict the progression of clinical signs of aging, particularly for African skin, and is intended to serve as a preventive tool that could integrate with AI for visualizing aging and skin conditions.
Integrating skin color assessments into clinical practice and research: A review of current approaches.

Department of Dermatology, Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, District of Columbia.
Article Synopsis
- Skin color classification plays a key role in skin health, assessing diseases, and tailoring treatment, especially in clinical research.
- A review by dermatologists identified 17 different skin classification systems in use, with the Fitzpatrick scale being the most popular yet flawed.
- Current classification tools have significant limitations and validation issues, highlighting the need for consensus-based efforts to create better, standardized systems.

Background: There is no established standard of care for treating central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA), and treatment approaches vary widely.
Objective: To develop consensus statements regarding the use of various pharmacological therapies in treating adults with CCCA.
Methods: We invited 27 dermatologists with expertise in hair and scalp disorders to participate in a 3-round modified Delphi study between January and March 2023.
Article Synopsis
- - Clinical trials are essential for evaluating the safety and effectiveness of treatments, and having a diverse participant pool is crucial for generalizing results across different patient demographics.
- - The Skin of Color Society organized the Meeting the Challenge Summit in June 2022 to promote the inclusion of racial and ethnic minorities in dermatology clinical trials, focusing on the challenges faced from various stakeholders.
- - The summit featured expert discussions and presentations that encouraged collaboration and generated strategies to improve minority representation in future clinical trials in dermatology.

Health disparities are differences in health or disease incidence, prevalence, severity, or disease burden that are experienced by disadvantaged populations. Their root causes are attributed in large part to socially determined factors, including educational level of attainment, socioeconomic status, and physical and social environments. There is an expanding body of evidence documenting differences in dermatologic health status among underserved populations.

Skin cancers are relatively rare in patients with skin of color; however, they are an important public health concern because of disparities in patient outcomes. Gaps in skin cancer knowledge exist because of lack of large-scale studies involving people of color, and limitations in data collection methods and skin classification paradigms. Additional research is needed to address questions regarding risk and reasons for disparate skin cancer outcomes in these patients.

Cutaneous melanoma is the most fatal form of skin cancer and presents a considerable public health concern in the United States. Although the age-adjusted incidence of melanoma among US Hispanics is lower than that of non-Hispanic whites (NHWs), Hispanics who are diagnosed with melanoma are more likely to present with thicker primary tumors, metastatic disease, and lower 5-year melanoma-specific survival rates than NHWs. Melanoma risk factors and reasons for late presentation among Hispanics are not completely understood.
