Rediscovering ancient roots in a modern way.

We go where care is needed. ❤️

September 29–October 2, 2026, Dr. Anna Chacon will be in Alamo, New Mexico, Navajo Nation, continuing the work of Indigenous Dermatology.

Because improving skin health isn't only about treating disease…

It’s a commitment to showing up.

Dermatology doesn’t always have to happen inside a clinic. 💗

This August, I was grateful to join Skin Health Solutions & Eli Lilly and be part of an effort focused on bringing skin health education and non-diagnostic screenings directly into the community.

Because sometimes, making a difference starts with simply making care more accessible. 🩺

Did you know psoriasis doesn't look the same on every skin tone? 🤍

Many people expect psoriasis to always appear bright red, but that's not always the case.

On darker skin, psoriasis may appear purple, gray, or dark brown, making it easier to overlook or mistake for another condition.

That's why it's so important to recognize how skin diseases present across different skin tones. The right diagnosis leads to the right treatment, and every patient deserves both.

🤍 That's the mission of Indigenous Dermatology.

You can be part of the change!

Have you ever seen how differently the same skin condition can appear?

📚 Indigenous Voices to Read This Month

Books have the power to educate, inspire, and help us see the world through new perspectives.

This month, we're celebrating four Indigenous authors whose work has touched readers around the world:

- Robin Wall Kimmerer (Citizen Potawatomi Nation)

📖 Braiding Sweetgrass: A bestselling collection that beautifully weaves Indigenous knowledge, botany, and the relationship between people and nature.

- Angeline Boulley (Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians)

📖 Firekeeper's Daughter: A powerful story of resilience, culture, and justice rooted in Ojibwe traditions.

- Joy Harjo (Muscogee Nation)

📖 An American Sunrise: A moving poetry collection reflecting on Indigenous history, belonging, resilience, and hope. Joy Harjo also made history as the first Native American U.S. Poet Laureate.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe supporting Indigenous communities goes beyond healthcare. It also means celebrating Indigenous storytellers, educators, artists, and leaders whose voices continue to inspire future generations.

📚 Which of these books would you recommend, or add to your reading list?

Behind every beautiful landscape is someone who deserves access to quality dermatologic care, regardless of where they live.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe that healthcare is about more than treating skin conditions. It's about building relationships, listening to communities, respecting cultures, and helping ensure that expert skin care reaches those who need it most.

Every trip reminds us why this mission matters.

❤️ Because every community deserves to be seen.

Not every change in skin color is simply "pigmentation."

Different skin conditions can cause areas of lighter or darker skin, and these conditions may appear differently in patients with darker skin tones.

That's why an accurate diagnosis is so important.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we're committed to improving representation in dermatologic education, supporting inclusive research, and helping ensure every patient receives care informed by a deeper understanding of skin of color.

The more we learn from every skin tone, the better dermatology becomes for everyone.

This August, Dr. Anna Chacon will return to Southeast Alaska for two consecutive service periods with PeaceHealth:

🗓️ August 24–28
🗓️ August 29–September 5

Each journey is another opportunity to provide dermatologic care, strengthen partnerships with Indigenous communities, and continue advocating for more equitable access to skin health.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe every community deserves expert care, culturally respectful medicine, and representation in dermatologic education and research.

Because every mile traveled brings us one step closer to a future where quality skin care is accessible to all.

💚 Our mission continues.

Recognition is only the beginning.

Across 90 countries, 476 MILLION Indigenous People, continue to protect knowledge, culture, and traditions that shape our shared future.

But many communities still face barriers to healthcare and culturally appropriate care.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe access to care should never depend on geography, culture, or skin tone.

This is why the mission continues. 💚

Sometimes, just 10 minutes can make a difference.

Dr. Anna Chacon recently participated in the Back to School Health & Safety Fair in Miami, providing focused skin health screenings as part of a community outreach initiative.

We're grateful to the African American Health Coalition and everyone who helped make this event possible. By bringing healthcare directly into the community, we can encourage early skin evaluations, increase awareness, and help connect people with the care they need.

Together, we're working toward healthier communities 💚

Many Indigenous patients face challenges that go beyond skin conditions.

They may encounter misconceptions, delayed diagnoses, limited access to specialty care, and a lack of representation in medical education.

At Indigenous Dermatology, we believe every patient deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected.

Healthcare starts with listening.
