- Abstract
Black-skinned people make up a significant percentage of the French population. Skin pathologies are frequent and varied in general practice, and their management requires training. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge needs of general practitioners in black-skin dermatology, based on their own practices. A cross-sectional quantitative survey was conducted online. The results reveal that for the most frequent pathologies (atopic dermatitis, candidiasis, psoriasis, scabies and pityriasis versicolor), only over 50% feel confident in their diagnosis. For less common pathologies (melanoma and Kawasaki syndrome), the level of diagnostic certainty plummets. This study highlights the complexity of the dermatological examination of black-skinned patients for general practitioners. It is essential to enrich initial and continuing training programs for these professionals. Doctors should be supported by a widely distributed digital aid.
