Kanayo Dike-Oduah nearly died from a rare skin disorder which she says could have been avoided if medical professionals were better trained to diagnose skin conditions on non-white people.

And she’s not alone – medical student Malone Mukwende wrote a guide to help other medical professionals diagnose clinical signs on black and brown skin after finding people were struggling.
