Love that she always discusses the different skin types and tones. Its so nice to see

[euphg]

i just wish to wake up one day with flawless skin hair and everything

[tas]

MORE BLACK DOCTORS/ WOMEN CATERING TO US WITH CONTENT. I LOVE THAT SHE SHOW HOW IT LOOKS ON DIFFERENT SKIN

[ZeldaHatter]

I have strawberry legs and I swear I absolutely refuse to wear shorts or skirts. I’ve had them since 6th grade and get extremely upset if I’m made to wear anything revealing my legs . I Haven’t worn a skirt/shorts outside in atleast over 17 years

[kkura__kkuraa]

I really really hate my skin, it's been making me self conscious for so long😭

[kristinaceus]

Thank you so much ! I’m 18 and I’ve been going to dermatologists for years and they could never help me . And I’ve tried everything.
You’re the first black “dermatologist “, surgeon and doctor that actually give tips for black skin . Thanks 💕

“Luke warm showers....Hot showers makes it WORSE.”
Me: having 1.5million degree showers with “chicken skin -_- y’all really calling me out bruv.

[josephineakuma]

I started having keratosis pilaris since primary school and I never knew how to get rid of it and because of it, I feel insecure and I don't wear shorts or skirts. Thank you very much for this video. Finally found a doctor that spoke about this condition. ❤️

[mariacamilahiggins]

I've avoided wearing bikini bottoms since i was 14yo because of the fear of people watching my skin (i swim in shorts) and tend to get comments about my elbows' hyperpigmentation and dry feeling too. This video has put light on issues i thought i was dealing alone and all i have left to say is thank you, for showing us better ways to take care of ourselves and let us know we're not alone in this 🙏

[georgie]

3:18 i don’t know why but I started getting emotional when she started talking about this. Because I really relate to the whole not wanting to show my body because of this condition. I have it all along all parts of my legs accept the inner thigh, and I always wear long pants because im self conscious about what others will think. I’m also always uncomfortable when wearing shorts so it gets hard in summer. I never really wanted to peruse a way to get rid of these bumps until recently. I had someone who commented on the way my legs looked and I said I have a skin condition, and they asked if it was contagious. This really got to me and I felt really terrible about it. But I hope by watching this video I’ll be able to self treat and get rid of them for good.

[mamayak]

Hi I love this video. Can you do a video on hyperpigmentation in the underarms on dark skin women? We need more black ppl talking about dark skin. Thank you!

[jg-tspb]

as a south asian teen with severe keratosis pilaris since childhood this video is so so helpful, thank you for focusing on the effects on skin of women of colour, i've got hyperpigmentation from scrubbing my arms in the hopes of getting rid of the condition but am trying to go through the chemical route from now. i find it frustrating that a lot of hydrating body cleansers and washes are so much more expensive in price though

[enouement]

I like to call it "strawberry skin" so I feel less negative about it.

[kerenbgro]

I never knew that I had such a condition until now, I genuinely thought my skin was just sensitive to razors. Thank you very much for the information/help doctor!

[bigchungus]

Thank you for giving a more thorough explanation! My boyfriend (who is hispanic) was struggling to figure out what skin condition he had because we couldn’t find anything that looked similar. We didn’t think it was KP at first because most pictures online were of lighter skin with red bumps but his didn’t have a color. Now we both agree this is probably what he has after seeing what it looks like on different people.

Thank you so much for explaining how skin conditions can affect other ethnicities differently & can look differently on other skin tones! I’m so glad I found your channel because representation is extremely important ❤️

[adriannward]

Subscribed off the fact that you’re a Doctor and discussing one of my favorite topics. Wishing you much success!

[HurricaneDESTROYER]

Just realized I suffer from this 🥴 never have I ever stoped to think about the "bumps" in my arms

[Yuu_ii]

I've had Kp since 3rd grade.it has effected my fashion choices and my self-confidence.
Thay means when I'm going outside in the summer I'm always thinking about my Kp.
That also caused me to not go outside that much as I used to because I don't want to feel judged.
I live in an apartment that means when go outside.
That basically means you're cerounded by you're neighbours.
Im going to highschool in a week.
And I feel like thats gonna effect my ability to make new friends.

[niiho]

i really appreciate you mentioning the differences between poc and white skin. since im asian, a couple doctors always recommended things that are much better for white skin
