![](/templates/common/images/mail.png)
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.
