Skin of Color Savvy: Insights From SOCS Media Day on Sunscreen, Skin Cancer, and Misinformation, With Corey Hartman, MD

In this Savvy Stories episode of Skin of Color Savvy, produced by HCPLive in collaboration with the Skin of Color Society (SOCS), Corey Hartman, MD, founder of Skin Wellness Dermatology in Birmingham, Alabama, reflected on his participation in SOCS’s 8th Annual Virtual Media Day. The 2025 program, an established newsroom resource since 2015, continued its mission of “setting the record straight in the age of misinformation,” bringing clinical clarity to topics affecting patients with richly pigmented skin.
Against this evidence-driven backdrop, Hartman offers nuanced insights into sunscreen misconceptions, skin cancer awareness gaps, social media trends, adolescent skin-care culture, and emerging regenerative technologies.
