Hi! I’m Dr. Adeline Kikam

I’m a board-certified medical and cosmetic dermatologist. You may know me from social media as
@brownskinderm, which I launched at the start of my dermatology residency to educate people on
proper skincare and dermatologic needs in diverse skin tones.

As a young woman, Dr. Kikam experienced firsthand the frustrations of finding a dermatologist competent in caring for the unique needs of skin of color. A firm believer that skin health forms a huge part of our identity and formation of self-worth, Dr. Kikam has created solutions like Brown Skin Derm™ and Skinclusive Dermatology™ for those like her who feel unseen, unheard and left out of the skincare world.

At the beginning of her residency, she launched Brown Skin Derm via social media to create more access to evidence-based dermatology insights and provide a platform that welcomes
candid, informative conversations. Over the years, she’s amassed an extensive and diverse following and has become a highly sought-out expert and trusted voice on melanin-rich skincare, conditions, and therapies.

As part of this effort, she lends her expertise and passion to advocating for improved representation of people of color in the larger discussion among her peers and brands on skincare, ranging from medical accuracy and accessibility and product formulation to patient engagement.
