Osazuwa, dermatologist at Rabito Clinic in Accra takes care of a patient in her consulting room on July 3, 2018. - Africa is experiencing a massive trend of skin bleaching, also called lightening or whitening, particularly in teenagers and young adults. The widening phenomenon is laden with health risks. Rabito Clinic is specialised on all kinds of skin diseases. Every day around 20 patients with skin disorders, because of the long-term use of skin-whitening products, are treated in the clinic. Women, men and even children use skin-lightening creams daily in Ghana, a common practice that has been in the country for long time. (Photo by CRISTINA ALDEHUELA / AFP)
