Skin of Color Savvy: The Sunscreen Gap—Cancer Prevention in Skin of Color

In this latest episode of the Skin of Color Savvy podcast, produced by HCPLive, guests focused discussing “the sunscreen gap” in skin cancer prevention among patients with skin of color, with experts emphasizing the persistent misconceptions, delayed diagnoses, and systemic barriers contributing to poorer outcomes despite lower overall incidence rates of skin cancer in darker-skinned populations.

Hosted by Rebecca Vasquez, MD, associate professor of dermatology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, the discussion featured Jeanine Downie, MD, founder of image Dermatology PC in Montclair, New Jersey; Henry Lim, MD, former chair of dermatology at Henry Ford Health; and Jane Yoo, MD, assistant clinical professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.
