My mother (Asian) was diagnosed with acro-melanoma just like what Dr. Gunter described. It was at the bottom of her foot and she went to doctor after doctor and was told again and again that it was just a harmless mole. 6 months later, when it got bigger and bigger, they finally did a biopsy and realized that it was melanoma, and it has already spread to her lymph nodes, a stage 3 cancer. Thankfully, my mother responded to immunotherapy well, even though statically, acro-melanoma patients don’t respond to treatment as well as the other melanoma types. She is now cancer free. But if her melanoma was caught early on at stage 1, which was when she first went to a dermatologist, it would’ve been so much easier and quicker to treat. We absolutely need to bring more awareness to different types of skin cancer on the skin of different ethnicities.

I am white and have also had doctors tell me that moles aren't anything to be worried about. I have one that is growing irregularly and I had to push for them to biopsy it. Not everything that happens to a person is a result of racism. Sometimes doctors just disregard potential issues due to them being lower probability. We really need to stop telling people of all colors that doctors will treat them differently because of racism. Sometimes one ethic group is more likely to have a condition. That isn't racism that is medical science. I hope you mom gets cancer free and stays that way. It isn't fun for any family member to go through this.

@@tray22 So I totally get what you're saying, but I believe that you may be confusing covert racism with outright blatant racism. The kind of racism she explains here is not necessarily the result of a doctor choosing to ignore the obvious because of a personal bias against a person of a certain race. The issue she describes is one of ignorance. Many medical professionals do not learn how to properly diagnose patients of color because the default skin type is white. That's what they train on and that's what they have the easiest time diagnosing. This is still a form a racism, albeit one derived from a lack of understanding instead of malice. As the medical community continues to study a wider array of races and their skin types, they'll be able to catch early signs of skin cancer sooner.

@@agorapanologia This is only true in the mind of a woke liberal. It you talk to actual professional doctors and nurse practitioners they receive medical training for all races. The only reason you think this way is because you have been mislead. True racism is intentional. All the add on terms to expand racism is no different than the 50 some odd genders that now exist. If the medical field says no there are two genders then they are called sexist or homophobic.

The chocolate vs acne thing reminded me of an issue I had with my skin. I used to get really big, red pimples full of goo on my back. Dermatologist (a university professor) told me to cut chocolate and soda. I cut both, but the issue remained. I realized that it was because of butter. I cut butter from my breakfast diet, and that went away. Still don't consume soda, and consume chocolate less than I used to. Still butter or anything that has fat in it (like peanut, pistachios, nuts) gives me pimples.

US dermatology associations recommend to basically NEVER expose skin to sun except if not protected, which is nonsense. There are no more melanoma diagnosed in Europe from UK to Italy, even though we are suggested to put sun cream just on sunny days. Not even the australian recommendations suggest to avoid weak sunlight if un protected. Of course, diet is key in all this and is alwayz better to be precautious but putting sun cream on cloudy days is just paranoid - and not suggested by medical associations of other countries!

It's not the cloudiness that tells you whether your skin can be damaged or not, it's the UV rating - which (depending on your area) can be high on a cloudy day in summer for example, and low on a sunny day in winter. If the UV rating is 3 or above, your skin can be damaged.

@MissMoontree 2 жыл бұрын

@Zoe D valid point. It is a shame the doctor in the video didn't explain that. UV index is higher in summer, and we should take into account the reflected sun on the surfaces of snow, water and sand! Most weather apps will tell you the UV indication and it is a neat tool to know how intense the sun is and how much protection you really need. Should you stay out of the sun that day? Check the app.

Because if not, I would say that going from the state of having irritated enlarged pores to non-irritated normal-sized pores could be described as "shrinking" your pores.

I believe that they were trying to talk about the 'pore shrinking' advertisements that are prevalent in a lot of skincare brands. Your pores can become enlarged if they are irritated and you can help to combat this by partaking in a skincare routine that is made for your skin. however, there is a misconception that you can shrink the normal size of your pores (before they become enflamed), usually for cosmetic purposes, which is really not possible because your genetics play a large part in determining pore size. Hope that that helps! :)

3:40 (Excuse the wall of text) I don’t think the term “racism” is correctly used here. For one thing the reason most dermatologists are taught on how to diagnose skin cancer on white people, is because most people are white. That way dermatologists are the most useful to the largest swaths of the population. Not because most dermatologists are white. As for black people believing that they don’t need sunscreen, I believe this to be a misconception not rooted is racism, but rather misunderstanding how much extra melanin protects you from the sun.

I just really like this video! I thinks he bring up many great points for people who just started with skincare and it does explain quite a few important points, like everybody needed sunscreen.

Sometimes they take minutes, hours or even days to be generated and become available. I check back if later if I require them. In most cases, they will be there eventually. Have a good day.

I see a closed captioning option in the top-right corner

Unfortunately KZfaq, in their endless wisdom, removed the ability for the community to suggest captions which the channel could then approve. It was not uncommon to see science and educational videos with English, Spanish, German, French, Russian, and Arabic captions. It would take a long time, like 10X a video's runtime, so it wasn't very common, but on large channels where every video would eventually be translated, people who needed those captions would know to wait a few days after upload for it to be made and approved. Now only the channel can supply captions, so some large channels hire the services of companies based in places where labour rates are much lower than in the developed world. For scripted content, it's usually just a matter of aligning the script to the timing of the video.

I have dry skin and flawed collagen (suspected EDS, waiting for diagnosis), so my aloe vera plant has become my best friend. And basically anything made with aloe, it's so hydrating and soothing without being slimy. I've had some weird skin things due to that, like freckles getting so itchy they fell off (like the skin is now lighter), and odd scarring and discoloration. My doctor keeps telling me it's just that I heal weirdly, but it's very strange looking and feeling. I suspect that after the connective tissue specialist sees me, I might get some answers or maybe a dermatologist referral. I already know what causes reactions (mostly laundry detergent causing rashes), but beyond that, no clue.

We personally experience chocolate to worsen acne but 'studies' say the opposite, rather insist. Guess who funds those studies?

I used to have the worst skin out of anyone I knew, it was only until I eliminated refined sugar and drank lots of water and green tea that it got better (with a few other things as well tbf). If you have bad skin there's a good chance it's your diet that's the main cause unless you have a condition.

Do the lotions you make contain SPF properties? If so, what do you use? I'm curious, I used to make body butters and other such concoctions myself.
