Dr. Chacon aims to address #HealthDisparities that exist between #Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations. “Indigenous peoples are more likely to experience skin conditions such as #eczema, #psoriasis, and #SkinInfections due to factors such as #poverty, overcrowding, and limited access to #CleanWater. Part of our work is to address these underlying factors and works to provide culturally appropriate care to address these disparities,” https://www.newbeauty.com/telehealth-indigenous-dermatology/
