fungoides was more commonly observed in blacks, with recent studies suggesting that black patients have greater skin involvement and are 3 times more likely to have stage 2 disease at diagnosis. 5 Hispanic patients had significantly higher rates of melasma (1.41; 95% CI 1.23-1.63; P \.001) and pityriasis alba (OR 3.49; 95% CI 3.05-3.98; P \.001) compared with non-Hispanics.Limitations of our study included inconsistency in reporting of race and ethnicity and racial disparities in access to health care. Our data describe patients treated at a single-hospital system in the United States and therefore may not be generalizable to nonurban areas.Our findings represent an investigational study into the stratification of dermatoses based on race and ethnicity. Our results suggest that many cutaneous disorders disproportionately affect patients with skin of color. Although US Asian and Hispanic individuals are projected to have the greatest increase in population within the next 3 decades, little is known about the occurrence of skin of color dermatoses in these groups. 3 The present study therefore sought to highlight the most common dermatoses in patients with skin of color that warrant further study.
