Background
There is limited evidence on treating psoriasis patients with skin of color (SOC), contributing to disparities in accessing appropriate care for these patients.
Objectives
This study aimed to develop consensus statements defining SOC terminology and addressing needs to optimize the clinical management of psoriasis in patients with SOC.
Methods
Using the modified Delphi methodology 16 Canadian dermatologists with expertise in psoriasis developed consensus statements. Four core faculty members drove the content of the study, and 12 additional panel members were consulted to vote and provide consensus on the content produced by the core faculty. At a final meeting, the full panel revised and voted on the final consensus statements.
Results
The exercise resulted in 11 consensus statements on SOC terminology, as well as 5 primary and 4 secondary statements on clinical presentation and differential diagnosis, and treatment guidelines based on evidence and expert opinion. Four additional consensus statements on current assessment tools and access to care were developed based solely on expert opinion.
Limitations
The available evidence was limited, low quality, and inappropriate for formal quality assessment.
Conclusions
The consensus statements developed in this study may provide valuable guidance to the dermatology community treating psoriasis patients with SOC.

Background
Factors associated with nonadherence to guideline-recommended complete excision of suspicious cutaneous lesions are unclear.
Objective
The purpose of this study was to analyze patient, melanoma, and clinician factors associated with initial diagnostic biopsy type and determine whether unwarranted variation from guidelines occurred.
Methods
This population-based, cohort study involved the analysis of data from questionnaires completed by clinicians who managed patients with newly diagnosed, histopathologically confirmed primary invasive cutaneous melanomas reported to the New South Wales Cancer Registry between 2006 and 2007.
Results
Of the 2267 biopsies, complete excision was attempted in 69.1% of cases but histologically incomplete in 14.0%. Multivariable regression analyses showed that complete excision was more likely than incision biopsy in patients <70 years (P = .016), shave biopsy in patients <80 years (P = .034), shave biopsy in melanomas of Breslow thickness 0.8-1.0 mm or 2.1-4.0 mm (P = .039) than either punch (P < .001) or shave biopsy (P < .003) in melanomas on trunk or limbs, and punch biopsy when treated by a surgeon (P < .001). Complete excision was less likely than punch biopsies in women (P < .003), with lentigo maligna melanoma or unknown histopathology (P = .004); shave biopsy in patients with lentigo maligna melanoma, or other melanoma subtype (P = .003); punch, shave, or incision biopsy when treated by a dermatologist (P < .001).
Limitations
Generalizability of these findings may be limited to the time of data collection.
Conclusions
Guideline adherence for biopsy type undertaken for clinically suspected melanoma appeared to be suboptimal.
