Description

Common skin conditions -- from rashes to skin cancer -- can look very different depending on your skin tone. But are doctors trained to care for some of the more common hair and skin conditions in people of color? We talk to board-certified dermatologist, researcher, and published author Dr. Chesahna Kindred, MD, about the realities behind hair loss, specifically in Black women, and her research into potentially dangerous ingredients in hair products marketed towards ethnic hair.
