I'm a fair-skinned guy but anytime I " SCRATCH , NIP, OR EVEN RUB OVER A SMALL PIMPLE" it leaves dark spots so easy & they're extremely hard to get rid of 🤦🏽♂️. Thank you so much for taking the time out of your day / life to encourage and educate us on this. ‼️‼️🙏🏽 Blessings to you 🙏🏽
It’s so great to see a great doctor who knows a lot about ethnic skin!!!! As some dermatologist who are only trained on Caucasian skin !!! It’s definitely true to be careful with black or brown skin!!!! Lasers are another area of concern !!!!
I’m so excited to see a black doctor in the UK posting important videos like this - I needed this to be fair - I’ve just had a chemical pale and wanted to go strong for my second one - but will go slowly to get those results with the least amount of irritation x
Hi everyone, hope you are all doing well. If you have any questions about today's video or you think I have missed something please leave me a comment and I’ll do my best to respond.

And then my skin starts looking dry immediately after I shower with white patches... I really need help😭 nothing just seems to work on my skin especially my face, I feel my skin is too sensitive to products

Hi, i have a question. I have hyperpigmentation in my face, i have darker skin around the mouth area, but my skin is like a very medium tone. Would a chemical peel help me? Or what can I actually do? :(
I do hope you see this comment because I might make a wrong decision if you reply months later😂 I live in a small city in Ukraine with a few blacks so I might not find a doctor who has enough experience with black skin. And I have dark knees,elbows and knuckles(since I was little) so I would like to know what peel to start with so I can tell the doctor because I really don’t want more hyperpigmentation
Thank you for your information. I'm of East Indian and have darkness between my legs, under arms . Can you please give recommendations of dealing with this. Thank you!
@@dymesmimi for me it was bad cause it left dark marks that I still have .. maybe the other peels are good but I don’t recommend the tca chemical peels I followed everything right got burned
What can we use for hyperpigmentation under arms and pubic area caused by ingrown hairs from shaving. Issue with sunscreen is the mineral ones leave a ghostly white cast.
@@slj3332 physical sunscreens would be best for hyperpigmentation prevention which protects from visible light n blue light from devices like mobile computers etc Supergoop or try Ella MD or colourscience
Physical sunscreens like Ella MD or Supergoop or colourscience are best if u trying to prevent further darkening of hyperpigmentation. Hope you find this helpful
Wow! So informative! Thank you so much for this free consultation/education session!!!🥰 My face is darker at my forehead and lower face (it looks like I constantly have a 5 o’clock shadow 😩) and I’ve been thinking about getting a chemical peel. I’ll be doing more research on this to see what’s right for me. Thank you so much!!! Ps: you have gorgeous skin!!!😍
Thx for letting us know because it happened to me before .I got a chemical peel from a spa...and I stayed with a large black line around my face. I really thought that they did wrong but now that you are talking about that I finally understand what happened 🙄🙄🙄 I would never do the chemical peel again. It’s not for me☹️
So happy found you . I've had this problem since a teen. One side of my face is half brown. Had lazer and 👎. Always have to wear make-up to cover it . Thank you 😊.
I need to save $$$ and go see DR. Simi. I hate that my own family makes fun of my face. My brother was calling me names like raccoon, he was telling me to take off my mask because is not halloween, that's it I need to go see DR SIMI!!!!!
I really appreciate Dr Simi for this informative and revelatory videos. I never even knew that black people can suffer from hyperpigmentation too until now. Thank you for this💯💯💯
Oh, you are amazing! I came across your channel today and I have watched 3 videos in a row !! Not only are you super articulate, you have a captivating personality and I can sense your genuine willingness to want to help and inform woman about skin care and other health issues. Really informative videos. I have subscribed and will certainly be sharing. Thank you for investing time and effort into these videos. Your hard work certainly isn't in vain :) p.s you are naturally beautiful and your skin is amazing!
@@DrSimiAdedeji I did chemical peel after treating my skin for 3 weeks and the next day when I woke up in the morning there were 4 little circle areas the peel came off in my sleep and the 4 circular areas were red. Is this bad? Because everything is going normal. I have done peels before using the same intenisity TCA peel strength of 13 but I was rolling around in my sleep I guess. I did not pick at anything. I this really bad? What do I do?
Your videos are so full of information. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world 💕. Is it possible for you to do a video on Acanthosis nigricans? I would greatly appreciate it!
I've been incorporating this in my skincare regime (The Ordinary) for the past few months and my skin is thankful ❤️. Love these videos keep it up love 🙏.
Hello Doctor Adedeji! I hope you have a good day. May I ask if you can you do a video on dealing with acne scarring? Scarring with ice pick scars and box scars that make the skin look a little bumpy? What treatments would you recommend people research about/consider? especially for darker skin (type 4-6)?
Hi. Thank you for your comment. Acne scarring is a common problem so many people suffer from acne. True scarring (not hyperpigmentation - which may people also refer to as scarring) is due to loss of collagen in the skin from the inflammatory process of acne. Treatments such as chemical peels and microneedling can help. I've had a few requests about this topic so I will be covering this in my next videos where I will be able to explain in more details what causes acne scarring and the best options treat it.
Thank you doctor Simi. This video is interesting and educative. I have been battling with hyperpigmentation and I intend using The ordinary peeling solution. Is that safe?
I just found your channel and I already love the content, very informative and relatable :) Do you have any recommendations of sunscreen for dark skin? I´m struggling a lot to find one that doesn´t leave a massive white cast on my skin...
Dr Simi can you please do a video on sunscreen suitable for dark skin. There’s so many videos on RUclips of people in America recommending products available in America. Can you do one for us black girls in U.K. tired of caste leaving sunscreens❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your suggestion. It has been noted. Blackheads are part of the acne spectrum and are considered as early acne lesions. There are different ways to treat them and some great ingredients that can be used that can really help. I will be discussing this in more detail soon.
This is why it's important to go to a Black Doctor, I went to a skin specialist for some face treatments and had a few bits of hypopigmentation after, i asked about it concerned and they said it was my natural skin colour showing though and it was fine !!! I now know it isn't!
Exactly!! I found this out the hard way as well. Went to a Caucasian male dermatologist that prescribed me medicine that burned me severely and had more skin problems than I came with. I went to AN African American doctor that told me the products he administered were too strong.
Thank you for the video, Im a caucasian but i do treat customers with darker skin types, im glad to see i do all off this. Do you have any peeling you recommend more for darker skin tones? I use lactic mandelic and sometimes jessner mainly
Let me find a BLACKKKKK doctor because I need someone who is looking out for me ☺️
Yes indeed🙏
Lovemeorhateme00 Same
Biggest facts 💯
It’s crazy because I live in a majority black community yet the dermatologist at the nearest clinic is not black
Why she keep saying BLACKKKKKK skin when our skin are different shades of browns.
It is so encouraging to see a woman of color who manages patients' skin health! I'm so excited to pursue this passion of mine fully.

@@taujejacobs7332 hi,what u use to remove it help plz
Please what did you use for your acne to go off please help me
What can we use for hyperpigmentation under arms and pubic area caused by ingrown hairs from shaving. Issue with sunscreen is the mineral ones leave a ghostly white cast.
From what I've learned in my research. You want avobenzone type of sunscreens. You want to stay away from sunscreens that have oxybenzone.
@@slj3332 physical sunscreens would be best for hyperpigmentation prevention which protects from visible light n blue light from devices like mobile computers etc
Supergoop or try Ella MD or

Hi Dr. Simi what do you have your patients prep with before getting a peel?
Pre skin for 2 weeks using home care products to reduce melanocytes.
And do tell...what would the 2-week skin prep products include?
Can you do a video on PCOS and shaving facial hair,and how to get rid of razor scars and marks left?
