“…Indoor tanning among adolescent and young adult SMM has been found to have distinct underlying motivations and potential deterrents that can guide behavioral counseling. Specifically, SMM are motivated by appearance concerns (notably, darker ideal skin tone), mood/affect regulation, and perceived health benefits of indoor tanning, but may be deterred by the financial cost and risk of photoaging/skin cancer . Directly inquiring about and exploring these motivations for tanning among SMM may therefore allow pediatric dermatologists to optimally tailor counseling about the importance of sun protection to individual patients.…”

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender/gender diverse, questioning/queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) persons, represent a historically underserved population within the field of medicine, though their unique health needs are increasingly recognized. Part 2 of this two‐part review will address unique concerns regarding acne, tanning behavior, sexually transmitted infections, and other health disparities among SGM adolescents. A more comprehensive understanding of the dermatologic needs of SGM youth will better allow pediatric dermatologists to actively and compassionately care for this health disparity population.

Discussion | In this cohort of 73 adults taking dupilumab for AD, 17 (23%) developed NRDs, with predilection for facial site (14/ 17) and eczematous morphology (12/17). Most NRDs were treated with topical corticosteroids (11/17) with a median (range) of 94 (2-345) days until documented improvement.New facial dermatitis while taking dupilumab is suspected to represent unrecognized ACD 3 for which the diagnostic utility of patch testing has been recently highlighted. 1 A case series 2 of patients with ACD revealed that 73% developed facial cutaneous eruption while receiving therapy, a rate several fold higher than in this study. These observations raise the possibility of unrecognized ACD unmasked by differential suppression of ACD elicitation by IL-4 and/or IL-13 inhibition depending on the culprit allergen. 2 In IL-4 knockout mice, attenuation of ACD to 2,4dinitrochlorobenzene but not oxazolone has been observed. 4 However, ACD is unlikely to explain all cases-2 individuals with negative results on comprehensive patch testing performed within 2 years prior to dupilumab initiation developed NRDs. Though ACD to uncommon, untested allergens is possible, we hypothesize that NRDs may represent unmasking of a primary dermatosis in an altered cutaneous immune milieu: unopposed activation of helper T cell subtype 1 (T h 1) and/or T h 17 signaling may flare rosacea, 5 possibly explaining the facial erythema seen in 4 patients, one of whom had biopsy-proven rosacea. The recurrent erythema with injections seen in Patient 11 is particularly suggestive of rosacea, possibly via an augmented reaction to Demodex via T h 1/T h 17 pathways. 6 We report clinical characteristics of a retrospective cohort of adult patients with AD developing NRDs while taking dupilumab. Emerging reports suggest a potential role of unrecognized ACD, though larger studies involving biopsy and patch testing are needed to better define the subset of patients to which this pertains.
