Myth: Dark-Skinned People Don't Get Skin Cancer

It's a common misconception that individuals with darker skin tones are immune to skin cancer. The truth is, no one is exempt from this potentially life-threatening condition. People of all skin colors, including African Americans, Hispanics, and Asians, can and do develop skin cancer.

While skin cancer is more frequently diagnosed in individuals with lighter skin, it's crucial to recognize that the consequences of delayed diagnosis can be severe for those with darker skin. In fact, the death rates from skin cancer are often higher among people with more melanin in their skin.

Skin cancer in individuals with darker skin tones is frequently diagnosed at a later, more advanced stage. This delay in diagnosis stems from a combination of factors, including a lack of awareness among both healthcare providers and patients.

By dispelling the myth that skin cancer discriminates based on skin tone, we can encourage early detection, timely treatment, and improved outcomes for everyone, regardless of their racial or ethnic background. Skin health is a priority for all.

Knowledge is Power

We believe beauty starts with healthy skin, and healthy skin begins with awareness. Regular self-exams are a simple yet powerful way to stay in tune with your skin’s health, helping you detect changes early and maintain radiant, resilient skin for years to come.
