Abstract：
Skin lightening (SL) for cosmetic reasons is associated with profound negative impacts on well-being and adverse effects on the skin, resulting in immense challenges for dermatologists. Despite current regulations, lightening agents continue to dominate the cosmetic industry. In this review, our international team of dermatologists tackles the topic of SL as a global public health issue, one of great concern for both women\'s health and racial implications. We have examined SL in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. We aim to inspire a global discourse on how modern dermatologists can utilize scientific evidence and cultural competency to serve and protect patients of diverse skin types and backgrounds. In doing so, we hope to promote healthy skin and inclusive concepts of beauty in our patients and society.
摘要：
出于美容原因的皮肤美白（SL）对健康和对皮肤的不利影响具有深远的负面影响，给皮肤科医生带来了巨大的挑战。尽管有现行规定,美白剂继续主导化妆品行业。在这次审查中,我们的国际皮肤科医生团队将SL作为全球公共卫生问题，对妇女的健康和种族影响的极大关注之一。我们已经检查了非洲的SL，亚洲,中东,和美洲。我们的目标是激发关于现代皮肤科医生如何利用科学证据和文化能力来服务和保护不同皮肤类型和背景的患者的全球话语。在这样做的时候，我们希望在我们的患者和社会中推广健康的皮肤和包容的美丽概念。
