Indigenous Dermatology
Rediscovering ancient roots in a modern way
Indigenous Dermatology (ID) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation and a Florida public charity. The programmatic work of ID is overseen by our Board of Directors and supported by community and governmental leaders in our partner sites.
We believe every indigenous person deserves access to quality, culturally sensitive care. Indigenous Dermatology works to provide remote dermatology to rural, tribal communities in the United States.

Not every change in skin color has the same cause, and many skin conditions appear differently on darker skin.
That's why an accurate diagnosis is so important.
Representation in dermatology matters.
