- Although people of color have a lower risk of developing skin cancer than Caucasians, when skin cancer develops in people of color, it is often diagnosed at a more advanced stage - making it more difficult to treat.
The good news is that there is a lot people can do to protect their skin and reduce their risk of getting skin cancer, including melanoma, the deadliest form. Learn more: www.aad.org/public/diseases/s...
Follow these tips from dermatologists to protect your skin from the sun and reduce your risk of skin cancer.
What about the rates of skin cancer among those Brothers and Sisters who was enslaved, working the fields exposed the to the sun particular in the south for more than 300 years????
Probably the same as the ones that where owned by Africans
I dont see natives spitting hate
Or Asians or jews even though they where treated far worse
That would've been a legit excuse to not Work for masa white... until he got the whip out...
I live in a tropical climate. I never used sunscreen growing up, except once, from an aunt. My mother never thought I needed any. I don't blame her. I half think I don't need any, but I have some sunscreen. Sometimes I forget to wear it. I don't know if it's important to use it, since I live by mostly near fully sub Saharan African genetically people, and they don't use sunscreen ( and don't get skin cancer), plus, my mother says I don't need it. Also, since I didn't use sunscreen growing up, I don't know if there is a point. I'm around 66 percent black, the rest mostly white and a little South Asian generally , according to my sister's 23andme dna results. ( I'm saying we have close dna percentages, not the same). Anyway, I don't burn in the sun. After an hour my cheeks and back of neck burn. So, if I know I'm going to be in the sun for more than 10 minutes and remember to put on my sunscreen, I do.
When I say they don't get skin cancer. I mean, I've never heard of anyone getting skin cancer. Did you all study black people specifically, also, I heard most black American are actually somewhat white. So the results would not be able to represent black people in other places.
@@gabriellalaplace You are absolutely right! African Americans are technically mixed race. Essentially, predominately African, but with significant white ancestry as a norm. So, they don't represent fully black African people on a biological basis, when it comes to skin cancer among black people. I saw in another skin cancer video whereby Bob Marley (of all people) was used as an example of skin cancer in blacks. Ironically his father was a white man from England. This has a lot to do with the American mindset that one drop of African blood makes you black. So, they carry this same sentiment into the medical sciences. They seem oblivious to the fact that if whites have a 2000% more probability of developing skin cancer than blacks. Mixed race ( black and white) people would be more likely to get skin cancer than fully black people. Although people of all races get skin cancer, it varies greatly by race. The fairer skin having vastly greater incidences. People of all races should take it serious.
@@finn3102 Ok. I forgot to say I live in a tropical climate on an island.
It is insane that they just pretend that whites do not get skin cancer or include the statistics that demonstrate that they contract it and die from it at astranomically higher rates than anyone else. They are doing this same racist disinformation campaign concerning opioid addiction,and pretending that all communities are dying at the same rate as them. Same with covid, where you can never seem to get any raw data on who is dying....just the news pretending that black people al9ne die from covid ( until you start looking at obituaries...)
@@WoollyViking I know that, in fact I was referring to skin cancers whereby a combination of fairer skin and excessive sun/UV exposure was the primary culprit. People of any race can get skin cancer, so everyone should take it seriously and get yearly screenings from dermatologists.
