When should you consult a dermatologist for help?
Dr Elle de Moll is a Connecticut- based dermatologist who is in support of the Global Healthy Living Foundation's non-profit campaign, the Health, Education + Reliable Outreach + Empathetic Support, which has been created by, with and for stylists, salons & barber shops to equip stylists to support their clients with skin & scalp conditions.
Dr Elle discusses why it is a benefit to everyone for stylists and therapists to be able to help to address any skin & scalp concerns their clients may be facing.
We talk about new & emerging treatment options, how medicines are getting more targeted & precise, and how she has studied new treatments for melanomas, using the immune system to help fight cancer.
We discuss how to recognise skin cancer and the signs to look for, inequalities and why people of colour are less likely to visit a dermatologist for help. They also may experience undertreatment of chronic conditions. Dr Elle also challenges the misconception that only fair-skinned people can get skin cancer, and how someone may have a genetic pre-disposition.
She urges anyone who is concerned to seek help, and doesn't like to see anyone being preyed upon by unethical marketing companies.
