Abstract

This article explores the intersectionality of being Deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and Black in accessing dermatological care, highlighting significant health disparities faced by this population. It notes that Black DHH individuals experience higher rates of cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and lung disease compared to Black hearing patients, alongside challenges such as audism, racism, medical mistrust, and poor communication with clinicians. The literature lacks specific data on dermatologic outcomes for Black DHH patients, complicating efforts to address these disparities. The article emphasizes the need for clinicians to recognize these issues and collaborate with affected communities to improve health outcomes.
