Just a quick note here : I&#39;ve been talking to a dermatologist and she<br>
tells me one of the main issues is black women taking all sorts of meds<br>
to lighten their skin.<br>
<br>
It is often detrimental to health, and also it leads to considerable<br>
money loss in impoverished families, and unnecessary sorrow.<br>
<br>
I just thought Wikipedia should be aware of that. Here (fr)<br>
dermatologist are recruiting black women in the medical sector to lead<br>
campaigns against that.<br>
<br>
I guess one of the ways would be to show dark black women pictures more<br>
often, not just light brown.<br>
