Migration dermatology: an issue to consider?

Abstract

The recent waves of migration across Europe have resulted in a rapid change of the patient population in many major cities in Europe, affecting the demand for health care and specifically dermatological care, as highlighted recently in an editorial of this journal. The psychosocial burden of the migrant population is often considerable, with stressful living conditions and reduced access to health care, however there is still little research on the health of migrant populations, probably because of methodological challenges and the lack of international consensus on the definition of migration status.
