Campaign raises awareness of acral melanoma through the visual medium of nail sticker
Acral melanoma is a rare form of skin cancer that develops on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or under the nails.
This campaign calls on all professionals who look at hands and feet for a living to play a role in making a difference to the lives of patients with acral melanoma. Turning nail technicians, beauty salons, nail art influencers, beauty publishers, and experts from across the into spotters.
Early detection of acral melanoma is the most important determining factor in successful treatment. Medical conditions can present differently in darker skin types and due to the focus on white skin in western dermatology, conditions which affect people with skin of color can often be underrepresented or overlooked.
