I am Adeline Kikam, a Board Certified Medical and Cosmetic Dermatologist. Put simply, I was inspired to become a dermatologist because of struggles I faced with my own skin while growing up; that and a lack of access to dermatologic care fueled my interest in decoding the vast and information-rich field that is Dermatology as well as the desire to spread this wealth of knowledge with everyone willing to listen. As a natural extension of this goal, I launched my social media platform "Brown Skin Derm" at the beginning of my dermatology residency in order to fill the void of evidence-based information particularly for black and brown skin. I wanted to create a trusted space for expert-led skin care knowledge, as well as highlight common dermatologic conditions and issues with access to care for melanin-rich skin.
