When differences in health and health care are avoidable and unfair, they are labeled health inequities. In large part health inequities reflect social determinants of health, lack of access to care, and a health care system that does not allow sufficient time and resources so high-quality care may be provided to all patients. Programs aiming at reducing health disparities must include the provision of services as well as address access to care and socioeconomic barriers. This article focuses on health care disparities in dermatology, and invites providers to become agents of change.

“…Recent articles emphasize the need for more visual and textual resources highlighting skin of color to prepare the field of dermatology for this shift. 2, 3 We offer a review of the cutaneous presentations of sarcoid lesions in patients with skin of color, an overview of extracutaneous sarcoidosis, and the cutaneous signs that may impact overall disease prognosis.…”

“…Ebede and Papier[2] found that only 2% of the educational opportunities available at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting focused on ethnic or dark skin. [2] Somewhat more favorably, patients with ethnic or dark skin were represented in 4% to 19% of widely used dermatology textbooks. [2] This limited representation of patients with darker skin may pose challenges in the training of dermatologic disease in Africa, since individuals with darker skin may vary in their presentation of common skin diseases and require different management.…”

“…[1] Educational materials regarding cutaneous disease in pigmented skin are also limited. [2] In this paper we review that the current burden of skin disease in Africa and how HIV/AIDS has led to an increase in opportunistic skin infections, ectoparasitic infestations, and other manifestations of systemic infections. We then review the current state of dermatology training in Africa, ongoing efforts to address this need, and propose potential solutions to improve dermatologic care for patients with HIV/AIDS in Africa.…”

Human immunodeficiency virus and the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) have greatly complicated dermatologic disease and the required care in most regions of Africa. Opportunistic infections, ectoparasites, Kaposi sarcoma, and skin manifestations of systemic infections are exceedingly common in patients with HIV/AIDS. Dermatologists have contributed significantly to our knowledge base about HIV/AIDS and have played an important educational role regarding the clinical manifestations historically. Because of the increased burden of skin disease in Africa due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic we must redouble our efforts to provide dermatology education to care providers in Africa. We review the burden of skin disease in Africa, how it relates to HIV/AIDS and global infectious disease, current educational strategies in Africa to address this need, and suggest potential solutions to move these efforts forward.
