Dermatoepidemiology is the study of the effects of environmental and social factors on skin health, skin disease, and treatment outcomes in patients. This branch of dermatology has the primary goal of determining the distribution of skin disorders in a population as well as assessing the impact of associated environmental and social factors. Studies of this specialty have the potential to identify skin disorder clusters based on environmental or social characteristics that can inform the development of prevention or intervention strategies. Examples of these might include improved hygiene, better access to healthcare, and enhanced nutrition. In addition, the application of dermatoepidemiological research can identify risk factors for certain skin diseases, such as smoking or exposure to pathogens. Dermatoepidemiology has been used to explain the health disparities and social determinants of skin condition disparities with respect to race, ethnicity, sex, age, and other factors. It has also been effective in defining geographical variations in skin diseases, as well as determining the effects of occupation and lifestyle on skin health. In addition, this specialty can be used to assess the efficacy of treatment and management options in disease prevention and control. Furthermore, dermatoepidemiology has revealed a relationship between the prevalence of certain skin conditions and other public health issues. For example, the increased incidence of skin cancers in certain populations has been linked to poor diet and low skin protection. In addition, infectious skin diseases have been found to be more common in areas with poor sanitation and inadequate medical care. Finally, dermatoepidemiology is an important area of study for public health due to its relevance in defining optimal public health measures to improve skin health. By investigating the various factors potentially impacting skin health, the most effective measures can be adopted to reduce or prevent skin disease in vulnerable populations most at risk.
