In addition to the paucity of reliable information regarding the pathology, physiology, and reactivity of more darkly hued skin, there were misconceptions based on myth, folklore, and prejudice. Fortunately, by the end of the twentieth century, new interest and attention had turned to the burgeoning field of skin of color. This is most relevant as the demographics of patient populations are changing worldwide. For example, in the United States, it is estimated that black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans will comprise approximately 50% of the population by the year 2050.
