Premature Hair Graying
Hair pigmentation and graying are important topics for the understanding of the physiology of aging; the differentiation of stem cells; and the mechanisms underlying disease processes such as progeroid syndromes, vitiligo, and hypothyroidism. Although hair graying, or canities, is a common process occurring in people as they age, an unknown percentage of individuals experience premature graying from familial inheritance or pathologic conditions.
Skin Cancer in Skin of Color
Differences exist in the epidemiology, clinical presentation, and prognosis of skin cancers in skin of color populations. Among Hispanics and black individuals, detection of skin cancers, including both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin malignancies, often is delayed. As a result, there is a poorer overall prognosis for skin cancers among nonwhites compared to non-Hispanic whites.
