Everyone deserves a timely and accurate diagnosis.
For too long, patients with pigmented skin have been marginalized and faced worse outcomes than their peers with lighter skin colors. Textbooks, dermatology atlases, and other resources have traditionally underrepresented presentations of disease in people of color.
For over 20 years, VisualDx has been committed to providing a comprehensive resource for medical images across all skin types. We know the importance of helping healthcare professionals with the challenges and subtleties of recognizing skin changes in patients with darker skin pigmentation. Equally important is the ability to engage with patients of color by showing them images that look like them or the way a diagnosis manifests on dark skin. This can build confidence and trust—an essential part of practicing exemplary medicine.
An Ongoing Commitment to Equity in Medicine
VisualDx is committed to improving diagnosis in patients of color. We have curated an unmatched image library reflecting disease on all skin types and now we’ve added a feature to help you diagnose patients with darker skin types.
Your subscription to VisualDx includes access to our collection of pigmented skin images as well as our overall 48,000 medical image library and technology platform to aid in diagnosis, improve treatment decisions, and engage your patients.

What’s the Diagnosis Quiz
A 10-year-old girl was brought to the ED by her mother due to fever, headache, muscle aches, nausea, and a skin rash. On examination, the patient appeared ill with a temperature of 102°F (38.9°C). Numerous erythematous macules and some purpura were seen on her palms and soles. The patient was immunocompetent with an unremarkable medical history. Her mother recounted no recent travel but noted that the patient spent a day gardening with her grandmother approximately 1 week prior to the appearance of the rash and other symptoms. They lived in North Carolina. The mother wondered if this was an allergic response to contact with a toxic plant or a response to a bug bite.
Is it Human Anaplasmataceae infection, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Acute meningococcemia, or West Nile virus?
