Teledermatology and Skin of Color Patients

J Drugs Dermatol. 2022 Jul 1;21(7):793-794. doi: 10.36849/JDD.6860.

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic popularized telemedicine for many medical systems around the world. Although it came with many advantages for some individuals, it created challenges for other populations, particularly patients with skin of color and minority populations (largely comprised of patients with skin of color). The social determinants of health (SODH) are defined as individuals' living, working, and learning circumstances that can affect their health and quality of life.
