    TLDR Inclusive and culturally competent healthcare is crucial for transgender and non-binary individuals.
    The study analyzed 114 patients over two years at Argentina's first public dermatological practice for transgender and non-binary individuals, revealing diverse dermatological issues, with acne being most common among trans men. Trans women were generally older, had higher HIV rates, and many were involved in sex work. Trans men often sought care related to hormonal or surgical interventions and were more likely to be on hormonal therapy. The research highlights the necessity for inclusive healthcare spaces and individualized care, considering the social and economic challenges faced by transgender patients, and provides valuable insights into transgender dermatology.
