Defining skin of color

Susan C Taylor et al. Cutis. 2002 Jun.

Abstract

In the past few years, increasing attention has been given to skin disease in individuals with skin of color (also termed ethnic skin, racial skin, black skin, or pigmented skin). We will attempt to identify those individuals with skin of color. We use this article as an introduction to a recurring series that will address cutaneous disease affecting these individuals.
