Skin of Color

We offer specialized care for dermatological conditions that are more commonly seen in people of color. There are many diseases that disproportionately affect or have an increased impact on those with darker skin tones.

The following are examples of conditions we commonly treat:

• Acne
• Acne nuchae keloidalis
• Eczema
• Hair loss
• Hidradenitis
• Ingrown hairs and folliculitis
• Psoriasis
• Pigment disorders such as vitiligo, melasma and other forms of skin discoloration

Dermatologist Dr. Heather Higgins has expertise in all skin tones and hair textures. Our goal is to provide thoughtful evaluation and thorough, individualized, and culturally sensitive care to our patients.
