title: Cutaneous diseases in Latinos.
abstract: The knowledge of many specific skin diseases that predominantly affect Latinos has been increasing; however, the understanding of common skin disease in Latinos is superficial. There are few prospective studies done in the Latino population and none that differentiate between diverse Latino backgrounds. In view of the expanding Latino population in this country, such research is timely.
