“…Some studies have shown differences in clinical trial enrollment for and disease presentation of alopecia areata, toxic exposure to chemicals in hair products, physical activity due to hair styling, advocacy efforts, and utilization of dermatologists for cicatricial alopecias. [11][12][13][14][15][16] Given that underrespresented in medicne residents tended to feel more comfortable managing specific hair conditions, the true level of resident comfort with managing these conditions may actually be overestimated as they represented 24% of participants. Even though 45.5% of participants reported having a hair-specific clinic, the majority of responses from this group showed no differences in comfort level treating diseases like CCCA, TA, and TN.…”

Background: Although recent studies demonstrated resident satisfaction in the treatment of skin of color (SOC) related disease, comfort levels treating hair specific to populations within the SOC spectrum is unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess dermatology residents comfort level in recognizing and treating various common hair conditions with a focus on those specific to SOC. Methods: An Institutional Review Board-approved survey was distributed to United States residents of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited dermatology programs. Data pertaining to hair care knowledge and treatment comfort levels were collected. Analysis was completed using equal variance 2-sample t tests and analysis of variance F tests, P < .05. Results: Dermatology residents were relatively comfortable with common conditions such as androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata, but uncomfortable with creating healthy hair regimens, discussing natural hair care products, and treating trichorrhexis nodosa. Resident self-identification as underrepresented in medicine significantly impacted resident knowledge of hair care and treatment in patients with SOC. Limitations: This study was limited due to small sample size and potential recall bias. Conclusion: This study highlights knowledge gaps in understanding hair-related care for patients with SOC, affirming the continued importance of diversifying dermatology programs as well as hair-specific training for residents.
