Skin concerns
Acne
Acne is a common skin problem which is also sometimes called pimples or breakouts. It can manifest at any age on the face, neck, back and shoulders. They occur when the body’s natural oils (sebum) and old skin cells together block the skin’s pores. This causes inflammation of the skin.
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra
Dermatosis Papulosa Nigra (DPN) is a common skin condition characterized by the appearance of small, benign, dark spots on the skin. Here's a closer look at DPN, its prevalence, characteristics, and management options.
Keloids
A keloid is a type of scar that extends beyond the original boundary of a wound, becoming thick, raised, and fleshy. This occurs due to an overproduction of collagen, the protein that gives skin its structure and strength.
Melasma
Melasma is a common skin disorder characterized by brown or pigmented patches that appear on areas of the face with high sun exposure. This condition predominantly affects women of color, especially within Latin American, Asian, Northern African, and Middle Eastern communities.
Post Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a condition where darkened patches of skin appear after an inflammatory event or skin injury. This condition is particularly prevalent among people of color, with over 60% of individuals in this group being affected.
