The ethnic population of patients seeking treatment for their skin is always increasing. This special group includes African-American, Latino, Indian, Asian and those of Middle-Eastern decent. Many skin conditions, such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or keloids occur more frequently within certain ethnic backgrounds. The risks for skin cancer vary from group to group. It is important that these issues be recognized and addressed professionally. Depending on skin type, treatment can be quite different for each person. Dr. Berke has extensive experience and training treating ethnic skin and the various skin conditions that are exclusive to this group, such as correcting the keloidal scars and skin bleaching.
