Climate Change, Human Migration, and Skin Disease: Is There a Link?

The document discussed the potential link between climate change, human migration, and skin diseases. It highlighted that climate change could lead to increased human migration due to environmental catastrophes, which in turn could destabilize regions already facing social, political, or economic unrest. Migrants might carry diseases to new areas and become susceptible to new diseases, with skin diseases being particularly common. The study reviewed English language scientific literature and categorized skin diseases among migrants into communicable, noncommunicable, and environmentally mediated diseases. It emphasized the need for comprehensive global strategies to address the health challenges faced by migrants.
