Diagnosis in dermatology is largely based on visual inspection of a lesion or a suspicious skin area; however, visual diagnosis and pattern recognition can vary according to patients’ skin types, and the disorders themselves can have markedly different presentation profiles in different skin colors. This book provides succinct information to identify the differing clinical manifestations of skin diseases in darker skin and lighter skin, discussing 130 skin conditions with high-quality color Illustrations, and will be an invaluable reference for even experienced professionals working on skin diseases in heterogeneous populations.
