Medical professionals, including doctors, medical students, and illustrators, are making efforts to diversify medical images to accurately represent skin conditions across different skin tones. Historically, medical illustrations have predominantly featured lighter skin tones, leading to a lack of resources for diagnosing conditions on darker skin. Recent studies show that textbooks feature Black skin at a much lower rate than lighter skin, which can impact the accuracy of diagnoses and patient care. Efforts are being made to include more diverse skin tones in medical illustrations. For example, Nigerian medical student Chidiebere Ibe's illustrations of people of color have sparked conversations about the need for diversity in medical texts. Medical illustrations are crucial for training and diagnosis, especially since many medical students learn visually. Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, lupus, Lyme disease, and scleroderma can appear differently on darker skin, making it essential to have diverse images for accurate diagnosis. Organizations like the Association of Medical Illustrators are working to change the historical bias by featuring different body shapes, sizes, and colors in their illustrations. This diversity not only aids in diagnosis but also fosters empathy among medical students, reducing stereotypes and improving patient care. Health professionals also emphasize the importance of recognizing that people of any skin color can get conditions like skin cancer, which may look different on various skin tones. Overall, increasing diversity in medical illustrations is a proactive step towards better healthcare outcomes for all patients.
