This one’s long overdue — but too important to ignore.
On May 24, 2025, the World Health Organization finally looked up from its stack of pandemics and cholesterol charts and said, “Oh right — skin diseases exist.” They’re now officially a global public health priority.
Took only 2 billion people and a few decades of collective itching, burning, and patching to get there.
In this episode, we break down what this shiny new WHO resolution actually means — and what it absolutely doesn’t. Vitiligo didn’t make the guest list (unless you’re psoriasis, Buruli ulcer, or Mycetoma — congrats, I guess), but the door to real recognition just cracked open.
We’ll talk about:
- Why this resolution matters — even if it’s 90% PR and 10% progress
- How patient advocates quietly dragged skin health onto WHO’s radar
- What it’ll take to turn this bureaucratic “maybe” into something that actually helps people
