Your Concerns
Skin concerns, explained for skin of colour
Start with what's bothering you. Skin conditions often look and behave differently on melanin-rich skin and are too often explained as though they don't. Below, each concern is covered on its own terms: what it is, how it presents on skin of colour, and what genuinely helps. Every guide is evidence-based, and none of it is a substitute for a proper assessment.
01.
Pigmentation
Dark marks, melasma, and uneven tone are among the most common and most treatable concerns on melanin-rich skin. Understand why pigment lingers longer here, and what genuinely helps it fade.
02.
Acne & bumps
Breakouts, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs often leave lasting dark marks on deeper skin. Learn how to calm the cause and prevent the pigmentation that follows.
03.
Inflammatory & barrier
Eczema, sensitivity, and dryness can look very different on skin of colour often grey or muted rather than red and are easily missed. Learn to recognise and support your skin barrier.
04.
Scarring
Melanin-rich skin is more prone to raised and keloid scars. Understand why they form, how to reduce their appearance, and how to prevent new ones.
05.
Hair & scalp
Hair and scalp concerns in textured hair from traction alopecia to CCCA are common and often treatable when caught early. Learn the signs worth acting on.
06.
Body
Pigmentation on the knees, elbows, underarms, and intimate areas and stretch marks on deeper skin is common and manageable. Here’s what actually works.
