Did you know? 🤔
When you Google “skin rash,” over 90% of images show only white skin.
Growing up with chronic eczema, I felt different - constantly itching, hiding my skin and battling insecurity. Years later in 2021, watching my 2-month-old daughter receive immediate steroid prescriptions without proper diagnosis made me stop and think…
• 65% of skin conditions misdiagnosed by non-specialists
• 18% higher misdiagnosis rates for Black patients
