BBC News Pidgin video follows the story of Amida, a 5 year old born with a rare genetic skin condition called Lamellar Ichthyosis.
Lamella ichthyosis causes the skin to flake and adopt a scale-like look.
Amida stopped attending school because of bullying, and her mother, a hairdresser, has lost customers because of her daughter’s condition.
A patient really needs support and proper care of the skin, says dermatologist Ayesha Akinkugbe, and Amida’s mum has proven to be a great support system.
