“…We acknowledge the challenges involved in reconsidering fundamental terminology that has become part of the dermatology dialect. However, we steadfastly echo the call of Burgin et al 1 for an objective system for skin colour characterization that aligns with values of diversity, equity and inclusion.…”

“…DEAR EDITOR, we read with great interest the article of Burgin et al 1 and thank the authors for their compelling arguments for dermatology publications, and the profession more broadly, to support diversity, equity and inclusion. We respond specifically to statements calling for revisitation of the Fitzpatrick skin colour classification scale, and the need to train machine learning on skin of all colours.…”

day 1 infusion. The patient reported a recurrence of blisters 1 day prior to the cycle 6 day 1 infusion, likely due to the waning effects of the prior oral prednisone treatment of 50 mg daily for 5 days. In case 2, the biopsy for DIF was taken 8 days after the cycle 3 day 8 infusion. The patient initially started experiencing diffuse pruritus just before this cycle 3 day 8 infusion, and the vesicular eruption occurred a few days after the infusion. We hope these additional details will contribute to a better understanding of blistering eruptions associated with EV.

“…The research presented at the workshops and conducted by recipients of the grants program has resulted in over 50 publications in international peer‐reviewed journals and a number of public health education intervention programs addressing safer skin‐lightening practices, changing hair practices to prevent hair loss, as well as skin cancer risk in highly pigmented skin. Dermatology publications on diverse populations of various skin phototypes have an essential role in enhancing professional diversity, equity, and inclusion 45 . To further disseminate research results from studies on African skin and hair conditions, a planned future project is to create a bilingual (English‐French) African medical journal specializing in dermatology with a top‐level scientific publisher.…”

Background Highly pigmented African skin and hair have distinct characteristics because of their unique physiology and structure. Twenty years ago, despite an increasing number of dermatology specialists in some African countries, there remained a paucity of collaborative research and workshops on African hair and skin, and there was a need for an inclusive African society to represent dermatologists from all English and Frenchspeaking countries in sub-Saharan Africa. MethodsWe documented significant research advances between 2000 and 2021 on African hair and skin physiology, as well as clinical dermatology, in sub-Saharan Africa. ResultsThe main advances documented include the launch of annual African hair and skin workshops in 2004, the introduction of African research grants and the Africaderm web platform in 2013, and the registration of the African Society of Dermatology and Venereology (ASDV) in 2015, which led to the inaugural scientific meeting of ASDV in 2016. ConclusionThere have been significant research advances in African hair and skin over the past 20 years. As skin physiology and skin conditions are similar across sub-Saharan Africa, scientific and clinical partnerships between companies, academia, and public health care sectors have played a key role in translating new scientific findings on African hair and skin to ensure knowledge is shared. This information has helped educate African specialists, health care workers, and consumers, with a particular focus on the preventable nature of certain dermatoses like skin bleaching-related complications and traction alopecia.

“…Akin to other successful schemes such as the Athena Swan awards in the UK, which have helped address gender imbalance in higher education, these programmes are examples of tangible change, and their signatories are role models in advocating equality. We will review and learn from these successful examples and stay in collaboration with other journals to encourage positive change across dermatology publishing 11 …”

“…We will review and learn from these successful examples and stay in collaboration with other journals to encourage positive change across dermatology publishing. 11 The BJD has been publishing for over 130 years, and the world has undeniably changed since 1890. However, a constant over this time is our role as a journal to publish articles that have a direct benefit for all dermatology patients.…”
