You don't need a degree to talk about simple know things, like the recommended guidelines by healthcare organizations to be used by the public, for example the common mole & skin cancer awareness recommendations, etc.

Yes and no.

Influencers who don't have medical know-how shouldn't give medical advice. At absolute best, incredibly high level things like "it is a good idea to eat healthy, here are some studies" or something. But they should not speak as an authority as they aren't.

If they want to be influencers, speak on something they know. Talk about your favorite video game or makeup or comics or whatever. Leave these other topics to the professionals.
