Skin of color dermatology is a specialized field addressing the unique needs of diverse skin tones.

Dermatologists in this field tailor treatments to ensure effectiveness while minimizing the risk of pigmentation changes or scarring. Additionally, they focus on addressing healthcare disparities and cultural considerations in patient care. Through research and education, skin of color dermatology aims to promote inclusivity and improve outcomes for individuals of all ethnic backgrounds, ensuring that everyone receives personalized and effective dermatologic care.
