Dermatologist for African American Skin
Dermatologist for Black Skin
May 2011
I am looking to find a dermatologist anywhere in the Bay Area that has
an expertise with treating patients with darker melanin tones,
i.e. Africans, African- Americans, South Asians, etc. As a person of
African descent my skin is prone to hyper-pigmentation and easy
scarring. I continue to have adult acne on both my face and upper
back and shoulders. I would like to a visit a dermatologist that can
treat and correct my skin with medication, skin peels, and/or laser
treatments. Can anyone recommend a dermatologist for me to see for
treatment and corrective services? Thank you!
No more dark spots
I recommend Ida at The Skin Studio on Piedmont Ave. in Oakland. She is
very talented, runs a beautiful studio and is a woman of color herself
(with stunning skin!). http://www.theskinstudio.com/home.html
Best!

I wanted to add a good resource for those seeking a listing of African
American dermatologists the site is blackdermatologists.org its a really
good resource. I saw some older posts about dermatologists i just
thought i would add this. SH
Dr. Greta Clarke is a magnificent dermatologist and she happens to also be
an African-American woman.

Does anyone know of an African American Dermatologist? Or is there any
African American or Bi-Racial person that has a good Dermatologist they
can recommend? Please post or e-mail me. Thanks so much.

Dr. Dunn on Telegraph is an African American dermatologist.
I've only seen her once, but I found her to be very knowledgeable,
professional and efficient. Her number is 848-8404.

I don't know of a dermatologist, but I've heard of a skin care
salon that is supposed to be excellent--and specializes in
African-American skin problems. It's called Solutions
Center (893-SKIN). Perhaps they can give you a referral
to a dermatologist.

Dr. Greta Clarke in Berkeley is African-American. She
is terrific--great bedside manner, very thorough, and
very reassuring (I have skin cancer issues). I'm not
Af-Am, by the way, but I recommend her without hesitation.
Her number is (510)843-2384.
