TLDR Certain skin conditions are more common in black people due to hair and skin differences.
Certain skin disorders were more prevalent in blacks compared to whites, with some being almost exclusive to blacks. These included pigmentary abnormalities associated with inflammatory skin diseases, and conditions like pseudofolliculitis of the beard and keloidal folliculitis, which were linked to the curvature of the hair follicle. Additionally, specific hairstyles and treatments could cause damage and potentially lead to alopecia if used persistently.
