Abstract

Knowledge regarding skin tone preferences and their influence on skincare behaviors among people of color is limited. The objective of this study was to determine whether there is a difference between ideal and actual skin tone among people of color and whether this difference is associated with tanning and sunscreen use. This was a one-time, voluntary, anonymous, electronic survey designed in REDCap and delivered through ResearchMatch, a national electronic, recruitment tool. Eligible participants were at least 18 years old and self-identified as Black, Asian, Latinx, American Indian/Alaskan Native or Mixed Race. In total, 548 completed survey results were analyzed using SAS. Only the Latinx population was found to have a significant preference for tanner skin (p < 0.05). The Latinx population had significantly more subjects that participated in outdoor tanning than both the Black (p < 0.0001) and Asian population (p < 0.05). Latinx participants who indicated a preference for tanner skin were 2.8 times more likely to never use sunscreen than those without this preference (OR = 2.821, CI = 1.029–7.732, p < 0.05). Our findings have implications for how dermatologists screen, treat, and educate Latinx and skin of color populations.

Alopezie: Dosisreduktion von Baricitinib auf dem Prüfstand

Wenn die Behandlung mit Baricitinib bei Alopecia areata nach 52 Wochen klinisch anspricht, kann die Dosis unter Umständen reduziert werden. Dies legen zumindest die Ergebnisse einer Substudie von BRAVE-AA2 nahe.

Wie gefährlich sind suspekte Veränderungen in der Mundhöhle?

Wie hoch ist das Risiko, dass sich aus einer bereits verdächtigen Veränderung der Mundschleimhaut ein Karzinom entwickelt? Ein US-Team hat dazu das Patientenregister der Universität San Francisco ausgewertet.

Chronische Rhinitis mit Botox lindern

Eine Injektion von Botulinumtoxin A in die Nasenmuscheln lindert Beschwerden einer chronischen Rhinitis für etwa zwei bis drei Monate. Vor allem Personen mit allergischer Rhinitis können davon profitieren.

Neue Creme gegen Melasmen

Eine Creme mit Alpha-Arbutin und Kojisäure hat sich in einer neuen Studie als wirksam zur Therapie von Melasmen erwiesen. Sie war ebenso effektiv wie eine Triple-Combination-Creme, es traten aber weniger Rezidive und Nebenwirkungen auf.
