This book addresses the maldistribution of health care between people in dense cities and more rural areas. This proactive resource provides solutions that will motivate dermatologists to make a difference, including free rural clinics and incentives to attract dermatologists to the aforementioned areas. Comprehensive yet concise, the book encompasses not only the logistics of the healthcare issues, including location, incentive, and set up of facility but includes insight into the effectiveness of teledermatology, a practice more commonly utilized due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Additionally, chapters examine the relationship between economic viability and quality of care, as well as government incentives and political action to mitigate this issue. Unique and timely, Dermatology in Rural Settings is an invaluable resource for dermatologists, resident dermatologists, and academic physicians interested in rural and urban health.

This book is a comprehensive guide to common dermatological procedures in the outpatient clinic. Presented in a 'tips and tricks' format, the book is divided into six sections, with the first chapters providing discussion on diagnostic procedures. The remaining chapters cover different treatment techniques including chemical destruction of skin lesions, cryotherapy, light-based procedures, and photodynamic therapy. A section on complex surgical techniques explains highly technical procedures such as hair transplant, Mohs surgery, and liposuction. Authored by a recognised, Mississippi-based team of experts, the book is enhanced by more than 100 clinical images.
