Reflections on ‘Dermatological care in Muslim patients: a perspective on gender and cultural considerations’
This correspondence reflects on culturally sensitive dermatological care for Muslim patients, expanding on linguistic, ethical and religious considerations. It highlights the importance of recognizing regional terminology, addressing halal prescribing through Islamic legal maxims, and applying modesty-sensitive approaches to clinical examinations. These reflections aim to support dermatologists in providing faith-sensitive, patient-centred care with confidence and clarity.
