Dr. James goes on to mention that African American communities still suffer from disparities in skincare.
Dermatologists should be mindful that skin cancer can look different with African American patients.
Results from the Health Information National Trends Survey show that misperceptions about skin cancer are higher in African American communities.
Education for both patients and providers will help to reduce skin health disparities.
While it is important to increase the knowledge and awareness of skin health in African American communities, providers and researchers must also do their parts.
