Over 70 Submissions Focused on Dermatology for Skin of Color
In April, as the official media partner of Skin of Color Update (SOCU), JDD published the SOCU 2025 Abstract Poster eSupplement, a special compilation featuring more than 70 submissions from the meeting. This supplement captures current clinical and translational research presented at SOCU and provides a timely resource for dermatologists, researchers, and clinicians caring for patients with skin of color.
SOCU is dedicated to delivering continuing medical education that highlights best practices and evolving trends in the management of dermatologic disorders across diverse patient populations with skin of color. During the meeting, presenters demonstrated extraordinary progress in research that is informing therapeutic advances for conditions that are common or that require unique considerations in patients with skin of color.
The abstracts are grouped content into eight categories: Alopecia Areata, Aesthetic Dermatology, Acne and Rosacea, Equity and Diversity in Dermatology, Inflammatory Skin Conditions (including atopic dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis, Keloids, Pediatric Dermatology, and Pigmentary Disorders (such as melasma, vitiligo, hyperpigmentation and photodamage). These groupings make it easy to find abstracts that align with clinical practice, research priorities, and health equity initiatives.
Contributors include established dermatologic leaders, early career faculty, residents, fellows and medical students, reflecting a wide range of experience and perspectives. The result is a collection that blends original clinical findings, translational insights and practical implications that can inform patient care and guide future research focused on skin of color.
For clinicians, researchers and trainees seeking current evidence and emerging trends in dermatology for skin of color, this SOCU 2025 Poster Abstract eSupplement is an essential reference.
