There are many skin conditions that primarily affect ethnic skin. Therefore, it is essential to find a dermatologist who specializes in ethnic skin concerns and has a track record of proven results in the field. Although many people of African-American, Latin, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern ancestry have darker skin tones, they do not all have the same skin type.
What Is Ethnic Dermatology?
Ethnic dermatology is a specific study of dermatology that focuses on skin disorders in patients with pigmented skin. Medical professionals in this field diagnose and treat these patients. Ethnicity is self-identified; as a result, many patients have more than one ethnicity. Ethnic dermatology honors ethnic diversity by recognizing that different ethnic groups and people with varying skin colors experience different skin diseases.
