Do you think sun protection is only crucial for fair skin? Think again. Join us for an essential conversation on skin health and dermatology with experts Sophia Brown, Lead Dermatology nurse at Vita Health Group, and Dr. Sharon Belmo, a Consultant Dermatologist. We dive deep into the critical role dermatology plays in healthcare, from medical and surgical treatments to holistic approaches. You'll learn about the importance of early detection of skin issues, the psychological effects of skin diseases, and how community dermatology initiatives can help reduce wait times.
Think darker skin tones don't need sunscreen? There's a lot more at stake. We break down common misconceptions about sun protection for diverse skin tones, highlighting the higher mortality rates of skin cancer in communities of color due to delayed diagnosis. Sophia and Dr. Belmo also discuss hyperpigmentation, the challenges of diagnosing conditions in darker skin, and the importance of culturally competent healthcare. Learn how cultural habits impact skin and hair health and why sunscreen is non-negotiable for everyone.
