ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Transgender patients have many unique dermatologic needs, yet the literature concerning dermatologic care of transgender individuals is lacking.OBJECTIVE:
We aimed to provide a systematic review of the literature on dermatology care in transgender individuals to provide a foundation for future research and education.METHODS:
We systematically reviewed peer-reviewed published studies that examined dermatologic treatment of transgender patients.RESULTS:
A total of 110 articles met the inclusion criteria for systematic review.LIMITATIONS:
Because of a lack of quantitative research in transgender dermatology, much of the available literature included in this review relies on case reports and expert opinions.CONCLUSION:
Dermatologists have the ability to greatly affect the care of transgender patients, and there are ample opportunities for dermatologists to expand the literature pertaining to this population.Palavras-chave
