Did you know that in the U.S., over 40% of people identify as 'skin of color' (SOC)? And by 2050, that number is projected to be over 50% of the U.S. population! For a really long time (think hundreds of years), medical research and studies focused on more western European or Caucasian skin. This led to confusion and delayed diagnoses for many individuals with more melanin in their skin. Fortunately, things are changing and evolving to keep up with our current population... finally! But there are lots of misconceptions out there about treatments that are safe, and unsafe for SOC.

This week on the podcast, I discuss skincare and procedures in SOC with my colleague, Dr. Tia Paul, who sheds her insight and expertise as a dermatologist well-versed in treating a diverse range of skin types!
