Background Over the last decade there has been a surge in interest and funding for global health dermatology. Skin conditions are now recognized to be the fourth leading cause of nonfatal disease burden worldwide in disability-adjusted life years. Dermatologists are uniquely positioned within global health, given that skin conditions are often the presenting sign of severe illnesses such as neglected tropical diseases and COVID-19. Methods We review four major areas of work by dermatologists within global health: i) characterizing global burden of skin disease, ii) advocacy for dermatologic therapies on the WHO's Essential Medicines list, iii) advancements in global programming for skin-related tropical diseases, and iv) the role of the dermatologists in COVID-19 pandemic. For each area of work, the significance and impact on the health of women and girls is briefly highlighted. Results Dermatologists have led the efforts to quantify and evaluate the global burden of skin disease, the burden of which is disproportionately shared by women. The dermatology community has also championed global efforts in the elimination of skin-related neglected tropical diseases such as scabies. Through national and international policy advocacy, dermatologists have pushed for more dermatologic therapies in the World Health Organization's Model List of Essential Medicines, helping to secure better care for patients suffering from skin disease throughout the world. As of 2020, the dermatology community worked collaboratively in the fight against COVID-19, establishing a worldwide registry for cutaneous manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 and pursuing research that has allowed colleagues in the house of medicine to better understand this landmark disease. Conclusion Through the study and promotion of global health, dermatologists have an important role in the house of medicine.

therapy without rituximab (15% vs. 37%). 8 Taking the evidence together, rituximab can improve not only the overall survival but also the 1-year survival of patients with BP despite its risk of severe infections.Our data suggest that rituximab improves overall survival and may have a low rate of infectious complications compared with conventional therapy. A prospective randomized clinical trial is needed to validate our observations.
