  • Summary

  • This episode delves into the challenges of using the Fitzpatrick Skin Type scale in dermatology, highlighting a recent study from the University of Oklahoma Health Physicians Dermatology Clinic. The study reveals discrepancies between patient and provider assessments of skin types, particularly among diverse racial and ethnic groups. It underscores the flaw in equating the Fitzpatrick scale directly with racial identity and advocates for more culturally relevant language and thorough history-taking to enhance dermatologic care. This episode explores the potential for improved patient care through these suggested changes.
