Ancient Remedies, Modern Misdiagnoses: A Systematic Review of Cultural Skin Practices Masquerading as Abuse

Description

This dataset supports a systematic review on cultural skin practices that can be mistaken for abuse or dermatologic disease. It includes supplemental materials on cupping, coining, Gua sha, Cao Gio, moxibustion, and related practices. Files include the PRISMA flow diagram, search strategy, study characteristics, quality appraisal, outcome summaries, exemplar cases, clinical pearls, and representative images. These materials are intended to help clinicians recognize patterned skin findings from traditional practices and avoid unnecessary testing, referrals, or misdiagnosis.
