At the Healthline website, which I often read, the answer for Black People is YES…. Skin Cancer is also a cause of concern for taking precautions against the sun affecting their well-being.
Below are the facts, which I have taken the time to gather for your information and personal research.
Many times, Black people don’t receive a diagnosis until its later stages. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), 22% of melanomas in Black people receive a diagnosis after the cancer has already spread to surrounding lymph nodes, and 14% when the cancer has spread to distant lymph nodes and other organs.
Additionally, skin cancer on dark skin tends to show up more often in specific areas of the body. These include the: bottom of the foot lower legs, palms, under a fingernail or toenail, groin.
Finding care for skin cancer if you are Black.
If you’re looking for skin cancer care that focuses on dark skin, several resources can help:
AAD: The AAD has a search tool to help you find a board certified dermatologist in your area. Be sure to filter your search for a practice that focuses on skin of color.
Skin of Color Society. The Skin of Color Society aims to promote awareness and raise excellence in dermatology for skin of color.
Black Derm Directory. The Black Derm Directory is a resource to help you find a dermatologist who specifically focuses on conditions affecting dark skin.
Hello everyone – I thought it might be useful to explore how ‘beauty’ trends affect mental health, particularly in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. Especially among young women, it can be a truly challenging period filled with unrealistic comparisons and societal pressures. The constant exposure to curated images on social media platforms often leads to feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem. I searched around the www to help us understand the psychological impact of these trends and to provide links that offer practical strategies to counteract their negative effects, supporting those who may need assistance in preventing depression and avoiding becoming unduly influenced by often unattainable social media standards. Additionally, empowering young women with knowledge and support can make a significant difference in navigating this complex environment.

How many of us receive very nice cosmetic samples—lipsticks that we are not going to use, creams, and masks that just gather dust? You name it, we all have it somewhere tucked away in a drawer or a cabinet. These ‘gifts’ often go unused, contributing to waste rather than adding value to our lives. However, if these cosmetic items have been received recently, there is a wonderful way to donate them to ‘women in need’ of an uplift, providing them with a little joy and confidence through beauty products. It’s a simple yet impactful act of kindness that can brighten someone’s day and help them feel special. Take a look at the links below to find out how you can be a part of giving to someone in need, turning those unused samples into a meaningful gesture that spreads positivity and support within our community. Every small contribution counts, and your generosity can truly make a difference in someone else’s life.
