Résumé

This review aims to deliver a comprehensive report of the most recent knowledge on diagnosing allergic dermatoses in skin of color (SOC) patients. Allergic dermatoses can affect populations of all backgrounds. However, racial/ethnic variations in epidemiology, clinical features, and associated allergens have been reported. Nuances in the approach to diagnosis, including the assessment of erythema and interpretation of patch tests, are important considerations when treating patients with SOC. In this review, we outline various manifestations of allergic dermatoses in SOC with a focus on important clinical presentations and diagnostic tools, aiming to support clinicians in accurate recognition of diseases, thereby opening avenues to improve outcomes across diverse skin types.
