For Black skin and hair
Dermatologists who document real experience with Black skin and hair, from hair loss and keloids to dark spots and razor bumps. We show you the proof.
225 practices in 15 cities, each checked against its own website and the federal provider registry.
“…early treatment is critical. We diagnose and treat: Traction alopecia (edges and hairline loss), Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA)…”
Quoted from a listed practice's websiteWhat brings you in?
Central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia (CCCA) and traction alopecia are the most common causes of scarring and tension hair loss in people of African descent.
93 practices document it
Keloids are raised scars that grow beyond the original wound.
96 practices document it

40 practices document it
Why this matters
Studies of dermatology textbooks have found that only a small share of their images show darker skin. Conditions like CCCA look different, progress differently and respond differently, and many people go years before someone recognizes them.
So we don't ask you to trust a badge. Every practice here shows, in its own words, that it treats Black skin and hair, and we link to where it says so.

Update your listing
We read each practice's own website and list it when the site documents care for Black skin and hair: skin of color, CCCA, traction alopecia, textured hair, keloids and more. Every profile shows the exact page and words, and the licensed providers we matched in the federal NPI registry. How we verify
Not necessarily, and we never guess anyone's race. A profile says "Black-owned" or "Black dermatologist" only when the practice says so itself or confirms it to us. Every listed practice documents experience with Black skin and hair.
No. Listing is free and the order is set by what the practice documents, not by payment. How we make money
