摘要

The intersection of historical, environmental, and modern research contexts creates a unique framework for understanding dermatological conditions in polar regions. The poles represent unique challenges to dermatological health ranging from difficulties in delivering healthcare in the extreme environmental characteristics of the poles. A narrative review of PubMed and Google Scholar between December of 2024 to January 2025 was performed analyzing sources relevant to dermatological environmental insults and healthcare delivery challenges at the Earth’s poles. Polar explorers are likely to be at anincreased risk of developing skin cancer because of the high albedo of snow and ice coupled with a thinner region of the ozone layer in the poles, increased risk of developing frostbite and could induced dermatoses, face barriers to obtaining dermatologic care, and face dermatological challenges with nutrient and vitamin deficiencies. As polar research grows, dermatologists can serve a crucial role by developing protocols for managing dermatologic complications, training healthcare personnel prior to polar missions, and providing remote mission support through telemedicine.
