This book identifies the most common presentations and essential
features of top dermatological conditions in patients with skin of
color. It presents practical information in a case-based
organization to assist dermatologists in clinical decision making,
and discusses important cultural beliefs that must be considered in
order to provide optimal care to patients with skin of color. There
is an increasing demand for dermatologic treatments in patients
with skin of color, as well as an accompanying need for education
and training in this quickly expanding market. Skin of color is a
key topic within dermatology as specific conditions can be harder
to diagnose effectively in darker skin, and patients' treatment can
be compromised by this. Clinical Cases in Skin of Color: Medical,
Oncological and Hair Disorders, and Cosmetic Dermatology is a
concise resource with practical guidance for board certified
dermatologists and dermatologists in training.
This book will identify the top dermatological conditions for
patients with skin of color and provide essential features which
contrast these conditions in darker skin types. The reader will be
able to formulate informed treatment regimens for patients with
skin of color. The book will also provide clinical pearls to guide
decision making, as well as important cultural beliefs that must be
considered in order to provide optimal care to patients with skin
of color. Clinical cases are a key component in modern medical
education, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work
through unusual cases using best practice techniques. Dermatology
is an important discipline in this regard since it is a highly
visual subject requiring the reader to describe often very subtle
differences in the presentation of patients and define accurately
the diagnostic and management criteria to base their clinical
decision-making on. By the year 2050, people with skin of color
(including Africans, African Americans, Asians, Native Americans
and Hispanics) will represent more than half of the U.S.
population. There is now an increasing demand for dermatologic
treatments in patients with skin of color, as well as an
accompanying need for education and training in this quickly
expanding market. Skin of Color is a key topic within dermatology
as specific conditions can be harder to diagnose effectively in
darker skin, and their treatment can be compromised by this.
Conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis may be
more difficult to diagnose in darker skin. There are various other
conditions that can provide a challenge in management, including
postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, scarring, alopecias,
and pseudofolliculitis barbae. If these skin disorders are not
diagnosed and treated properly, the initial lesions can become
darker as they heal, and the darker spots can last for years in
some cases.
