Two Years of Innovative Dermatological Care: The First Public Health Consultation Service for the Transgender and Gender Diverse Community in Argentina

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.
