Despite the lower prevalence of melanoma in people of color compared with the White population, there is increased morbidity and mortality as evidenced by more advanced stage at diagnosis and lower 5-year survival rates.1,2 This disparity persists in all racial minority groups with localized melanoma and increasingly in Hispanic patients with regional or distant disease.3 Exposure to UV radiation, especially high intermittent exposure during childhood, is a significant environmental risk factor for melanoma in individuals with fair skin.1 However, for populations of color, in which melanomas are commonly found in sun-protected locations, such as acral, subungual, and mucosal surfaces, the role of UV exposure as a risk factor is much less clear.1 This is a recognized gap in knowledge that highlights the need to further identify and stratify risk factors for melanoma in this population. Evidence is needed to inform meaningful recommendations regarding melanoma prevention, screening, and treatment to improve outcomes in this population.1,2

Recently, a series of police killings of unarmed African Americans has renewed attention to the history of abuses and institutional racism in the United States. This national conversation has led to institutional name changes (eg, removing Woodrow Wilson’s name from the Princeton University School of Public and International Affairs) and removal of monuments (eg, John C. Calhoun in Charleston, South Carolina) whose namesakes supported white supremacy. In medicine, named lectureships, professorships, and other honorifics are used to solidify the legacies of individuals deemed important. In a moment with calls for diversity, inclusion, equity, and anti-racism, physicians can use this as an opportunity to reflect on who is honored and whether they speak to current values. One such example is the legacy of dermatologist Albert Kligman.

As trainees in dermatology, we feel a great disconnect between our professional approach to skin color and the reality of the racially charged world around us. We describe phenotypic variation in skin color using concepts such as melanosome density and Fitzpatrick skin types. However, these clinical codes objectively distance us from the social concept of race and its influence on the lives of patients. In the wake of the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Rayshard Brooks, and Daniel Prude, there is renewed nationwide attention to the suffering of Black communities that has resulted from the United States’ 400-year legacy of systemic racism. We must expand our lens beyond the relative safety of our clinic walls and speak out against the racial inequities affecting the lives of Black patients. As resident physicians of different racial backgrounds, one of us Black (B.U.O.) and the other White (R.J.S), we have come together to issue a call to dermatologists to assume leadership in addressing racial health inequities. In this Editorial, we suggest strategies that dermatologists can embrace to dismantle the legacy of racial injustice against Black patients.

To the Editor Herman et al1 reported 31 patients with chilblains/pernio who had negative results for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and antibodies, a phenomenon noted by several articles in JAMA Dermatology. The authors hypothesize that pernio during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic “may be caused by lifestyle changes brought on by containment.”1

In Reply We thank Freeman et al for their comment in reference to our recently published article in JAMA Dermatology.1 The authors rightly point out the limitations of this study in 31 patients with regard to early antibody testing and the imperfect sensitivities and specificities of these tests. However, we later reported updated data, including an additional 23 patients with chilblains.2 In this total series of 54 patients, only 2 had positive serum anti–severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) IgG antibodies (12.75 and 135.5 AU [absorbance units]/mL, respectively). Moreover, repeated serologic testing 3 weeks after the first (39 patients) ruled out late seroconversion. Therefore, SARS-CoV-2 infection can be excluded with relative certainty, even after accounting for possible lower immunization in mildly symptomatic or asymptomatic patients and for some differences in sensitivity/specificity between the tests used.

Mission Statement: JAMA Dermatology publishes information concerning the skin, its diseases, and their treatment. Its mission is to explicate the structure and function of the skin and its diseases and the art of using this information to deliver optimal medical and surgical care to the patient. We attempt to enhance the understanding of cutaneous pathophysiology and improve the clinician’s ability to diagnose and treat skin disorders. This journal has a particular interest in publishing clinical and laboratory studies that reveal new information pertinent to the interests and needs of the medical dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, and all those concerned with state-of-the-art care of cutaneous disease. We believe that knowledge derived from well-designed clinical trials and studies of cost-effectiveness are especially important for improving the practice of dermatology. Studies that increase the understanding of the outcome of treatment or the means by which the burden of dermatologic disease can be measured and reduced to promote the health of patients with skin disease will receive special priority. The journal regularly publishes reports on clinical investigations, editorials, and reviews. It also features reports and discussions on clinicopathologic correlations; clinical disorders of unique didactic value; pharmacologic, medical and surgical therapeutics; and ethical, moral, socioeconomic, and political issues.
