Indigenous Dermatology

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.
