I just read a recent JAAD CME about racial and ethnic disparities in dermatology. "Racism", "discrimination", or "social determinants of health" are NOT mentioned even ONCE and there are nearly 6,000 words in the review. This is concerning. THREAD 🧵
A CME was published in @JAADjournals on health disparities in dermatology. There were some appalling claims that are inconsistent with established academic literature on health disparities. I think it's important that dermatologists speak up. https://t.co/SmfLyzx75s

@DrOlgaTheOBGYN @drcopps@dermBrauerMD@dermangelo@DermSeattle I agree with everyone has said - this looks like an acute contact dermatitis. The challenge will be figuring out what might have come into contact with that zone specifically 🤨. The ideas on this thread are good. I’ll keep thinking about it too
