Listing of African American Dermatologists?
Is there a way to find a national listing of African-American dermatologists? I am especially interested in those that deal with Seborrheic Dermatitis in African-Americans. I have had this condition since high school and I am now 27 years old. I am seeking an African-American simply because other dermatologist seem to have shampoos/treatments they want me to use on a daily basis. As an African-American woman, I cannot do that or my hair will be damaged. My hope is to find someone who has researched alternative treatments due our hair type.
Thank you.
The listing services do not go by race, so that would be a difficult distinction to make. You might see Dr. Pearl Grimes, an African American Dermatologist extraordinaire here in Los Angeles if you are on the West Coast or would be willing to make a trip to meet with her. Dr. Grimes is the Director of the Vitiligo and Pigmentation Institute of Southern California, and is also a Clinical Professor of Dermatology at UCLA.
Hi!I’m looking for an African American female doctor who can help me with my skin.
Additionally, two other options are:
Contact the National Medical Association (NMA), an organization of African-American physicians 202-347-1895; Contact medical schools such as Howard University in Washington, DC; Meharry in Tennessee; Morehouse in Atlanta, GA. For example, my husband attended Howard’s medical school and they have released an alumni directory that lists specialties.

In Charlotte, NC Dr. Thrower (I think that is his name) is very good, reasonable, and take insurance.
Does anyone know of someone in the Boston area?
I am looking for an african american dermatologists in harrisburg, pa. Can you help me?
Dr. Val Vallat is my current dermatologist here in Charlotte, NC. I am currently seeing him for treatment of acne and scalp issues. He is very personable but I think he i too quick to attribute any scalp issue that an African-American woman has to damage by relaxers. My stylist and I take very good care of my hair and it is quite thick and healthy. I have had this issue when I was natural also-thus I question his theory…. ( I am dealing with periods of extreme scaly scalp and resulting hair loss around the front hairline and temples. I have been diagnosed with everything from seborrhic dermatitis, mild psoriasis, etc. I I am currently trying to locate a black female dermatologist in Charlotte. I am hoping to get find a dermatologist with a better understanding. Can anyone provide any leads?
Though I suspect I may have something other than a bad case of seborrheic dermatitis, Dr. Vallat has prescibed 2 steroid based topicals that have provided some relief of the extreme scaling, red, irritated soreness I experience on a periodic basis. Maybe they will work for some upon discussion with your doctor. They are as follows;
Olux: a foam mousse. It alleviates the symptoms in a relatively short period of times, but applying a product containg alcohol presents a few issues for me. If the area is irritated it stings. Secondly, an alcohol-based product dries my hair out, causing me to have to apply more moisturizing products to counteract.
Clobex: a spray solution. Clobex is very effective-it reduces the scaling with one application for my issues. This is great as I hate to have spent money and time at the salon only to have a great style ruined by flakes a day or two later.
I hope some of these topical solutions can be of help. They are a better solution for black women.(I know how fustrating it is to deal with the various symptoms of seborrheic dermatitis on a long term basis.) My dermatologist pointed out that the medicated shampoos do not maximally benefit those that do not shampoo their hair on a daily/frequent basis. We just don’t have a need to wash our hair as much because our hair is yypically not as oily as a Caucasian/European person. These alternative solutions allow treatment of the scaly/red/iritated areas without having to excessively wash,dry,restyle, etc., our hair. Good luck!

I am looking for an AA female dermatologist that will get rid of the moles that often grow on AA females as they get older. One dermatologist was advertised in the Essence magazine years ago but I no longer have her info. I remember that she resides in Maryland, near the DC area. I live in VA Beach but I’m willing to travel. Thanks
Dr Beverly Johnson in DC is great! She comes highly recommended and takes insurance! Look her up…Can someone post an AA derm in Atl???
I believe the dermatologist in Maryland who was featured in Essence Magazine was Dr. Valerie Callender. Her office phone number is 301-249-0970. Office address is 12164 Central Ave., #225, Mitchellville, MD 20721. Excellent doctor! She treated my daughter’s seborrheic dermatitis and removed my girlfriend’s moles. I highly recommend her but be prepared to spend a good amount of waiting time in her office. Her office is usually loaded with patients but I think she is worth the wait.
Dr. Susan Taylor did nothing for my. I would not recommend her to any one. I am still searching for a good dermatologist in Philly.

I used to live in Northern VA and saw Beverly Johnson in DC for Hair Loss. She said it was due to a perm and my hair could no longer take perms and to go natural. I didn’t feel she spent much time with me.
She gave me a hair oil that she makes and it seemed to help with the dryness in the winter. She said my hair loss would happen again. I ignored her and continued perms. One year later and the same thing happened. Hair loss, in the back all the way up to my left ear. I only have an inch after a perm. My top hair is covering though its devastating. I still don’t think its a perm and she really didn’t explain in detail why my hair all of a sudden rejects perms.
She was the only one I heard of in DC. So my options were limited.
Again the hair oil helped with the itchiness and dryness but I wasnt sure, perms was the real issue being that it didn’t happen until a year later and I had about 6 perms in between with nothing….
I am in Charlotte now and its happened again. One day a full head of hair, the next thing I realize its gone!

Seeking an African American dermatologist in NYC or preferably Westchester County, NY for my daughter who has a problem with hairs that grow inward.
Ladies
I experienced balding, my shoulder length hair began to come out in handfulls. I couldn’t afford a doctor due to unemployment. However, I discovered my neighbors were breaking into my house whenever I left and contaminated my hair products (motion moisteriser(which I used every morning and every night) and shampoo, conditioner, and hair grease.) It took me over a year to figure out what had happened. So I take my products with me whereever I go. Yes, sometimes its frustrating… but worth it. My hair has grown back beautifully.

After reading some of the comments regarding hair loss, I started thinking. My question for some of the woment that are experiencing this is: Have you considered that it might be hormonal or related to an endocrine disorder. The reason that I ask this is because I experienced severe hair loss that could not be explained by a dermatologist. After consultation/treatment from an endocrinologist, my hair loss became “normal” and I now have a healthy head of hair..I just wanted to share my thoughts in the hope that it will point someone in the right direction.
I have very dark circles around my eyes and i really need a African American dr. In the ft lauderdale area.
