The Mexican population consists of indigenous Indians, Caucasians from a variety of European countries, individuals of European and indigenous Indian ancestry, and individuals of African descent. The Mexico population is used here as an example to represent Hispanics and those who come from other Latin American countries.The Hispanic population is the fastest-growing ethnolinguistic group in the United States, facilitated by immigration from Mexico, Central America, and other Latin American countries. This necessitates an understanding by dermatologists and healthcare providers of skin disorders that occur in patients from these countries.Pigmentary conditions are one of the most widely shared dermatologic occurrences seen in individuals with skin of color from Mexico.Cutaneous diseases commonly seen in Mexico include those of infectious, malignant, pigmentary, and photocutaneous etiology.Solar dermatitis, melasma, and facial postinflammatory hyperpigmentation are some of the most frequently occurring dermatoses in Mexico and throughout Latin America.
