| Core Tip |
In this global observational study, online psoriasis image search results across major web browsers were systematically analyzed to assess the representation of skin tone. Lighter skin tones overwhelmingly predominated early search results, while darker skin tones were consistently ranked lower in visibility, limiting early exposure for patients of color. These findings reinforce a lack of diverse dermatologic imagery worldwide and underscore the need for more equitable medical resources. |
