Hispanic/Latinx people are underrepresented in alopecia clinical trials, and more inclusive research is needed.

This study reported that in Hispanic/Latinx patients with alopecia areata, rheumatoid arthritis was a common autoimmune comorbidity, and gastroesophageal reflux disease was notably more prevalent than in other populations with alopecia areata.

The authors concluded that Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, facial papules, and premenopausal status in patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia may indicate a susceptibility to more severe disease, potentially necessitating early treatment.

Direct-to-consumer teledermatology is not effectively reaching underserved populations due to language, technology, and insurance barriers.
