Description

  • Essential dermatologic insights for non-specialists in an accessible, high-yield format
  • Collection of commented clinical cases with a didactic flair for medical students and general practitioners
  • Contains Multiple Choice Questions for self-assessment

By equipping non-dermatologists and undergraduate medical students with the fundamentals presented in this book, the complications, chronicity, and worsening of dermatological conditions can be stemmed or avoided. Understanding Diseases in Skin of Color closes a critical gap, offering essential dermatologic insights in an accessible, high-yield format, and delivering the must-know essentials for both hospital-based and clinic-based dermatology practice. Covering conditions of the skin, hair, nails, mucous membranes, and selected dermatological conditions with systemic involvement, this book provides a concise yet comprehensive overview.

The skin, one of the most visible parts of the human body, is subject to care, inadvertent abuse, and a plethora of diseases, making early diagnosis and treatment imperative. Starting with a chapter containing multiple illustrations on the basics of skin and its care, the contents cover commented case studies on selected conditions, and a part on how to deal with emergency and chronicity in dermatology. Medications, drug action, the most common investigations, and single best answer (SBA) MCQs accompanied with Answers and Notes are also included. 

This book also addresses the self-doubt that medical students and practicing non-dermatology doctors often face with confusing dermatological conditions. Through Understanding Diseases in Skin of Color, readers will gain confidence to handle daily outpatient practice competently while referring to more comprehensive textbooks for further knowledge.

Designed to be a friendly, easy-to-carry hands-on book, it will be a valued resource for general practitioners, dermatology and family medicine residents, primary care physicians, and nursing personnel, by contributing to the management of dermatological conditions in dark skin effectively.
