For some patients with advanced #vitiligo treatment goals shift from repigmentation to a more uniform skin tone.

#Monobenzone is a depigmentation treatment that requires close dermatologic monitoring & individualized care.

New 2026 #research suggests aging immune T cells may help drive chronic inflammatory skin diseases like #eczema #psoriasis & #rosacea

Underserved communities often face delayed care → chronic inflammation → recurring disease.

#Dermatology research must include equity.

AI can detect skin cancer with ~93% accuracy.



But here’s the problem:

Not all skin tones are equally represented in the data.



That means melanated skin may still be at risk of delayed diagnosis.



Innovation must be inclusive.

Skin conditions in #melanatedskin are frequently misunderstood or overlooked.



In remote Indigenous communities, limited access to specialists, long travel distances, & a lack of culturally informed care create real barriers to treatment.



Visit www.indigenousdermatology.com to support the mission.


At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe that skincare is about equity, representation, and respect.

Can #AI diagnose #rosacea? 🤖



Research shows promise, but also major limitations.



Concerns include:
• Misdiagnosis
• Skin tone bias
• Privacy issues
• Lack of transparency



AI may support dermatology someday, but expert clinical judgment remains essential.

AI is changing dermatology, but is it fair?



New research shows generative AI models often perform better on lighter skin tones due to lack of diverse datasets.



Inclusive dermatology research matters for skin of color.

In Alaska’s winter climate, dry skin, #eczema, and skin infections are common in #Indigenouscommunities with limited access to #dermatologiccare



Serving the Tlingit, Haida, & Tsimshian Nations reminds me why Indigenous Dermatology exists!
