- Summary:
- The first edition of Dermatology for Skin of Color was published in 2009. It was a comprehensive textbook and photographic atlas written by dozens of nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field. The two editors involved in the edition, A. Paul Kelly and Susan C. Taylor, were extremely gratified by the favorable reception of the textbook. With the evolving knowledge of the field, this second edition is intended as both a textbook and as an up-to-date reference for all physicians, especially dermatologists, medical students, dermatology residents, and physician extenders. It contains chapters on structure, function, biology, and the myriad of diseases occurring in patients of color as well as cosmetic issues. In addition, Dermatology for Skin of Color provides a rich understanding of the cultural habits, practices, beliefs, and use of alternative medicine by patients of diverse backgrounds. It concludes with a section on comparative dermatology from Africa, Asia, and Latin America and a spectacular atlas of skin of color dermatology. As our population grows increasingly multiracial, multicultural, and multiethnic, dermatologists will be challenged with the task of recognizing how darker skin differs from lighter skin, what is normal versus pathologic, which treatments have the highest efficacy and lowest morbidity, and how to interact with patients in a culturally competent manner. It is our hope that this book will serve as an invaluable tool to help dermatologists and the larger medical community meet those challenges.
