Taylor and Kelly's Dermatology for Skin of Color, Third Edition

Fully updated and revised--the go-to guide for accurately diagnosing and effectively treating dermatologic conditions of patients with skin of color



The focus in dermatology and related texts has been on light-skinned Europeans with scant attention to diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic disease in racial and ethnic groups. Focusing on the care of patients with skin of color, Taylor and Kelly's Skin of Color for Dermatology provides important information on every aspect of skin science as it applies to skin of color, from basic cutaneous biology to clinical management of diseases in patients with skin of color. This comprehensive guide fills a gap in dermatology literature, delivering comprehensive and in-depth review of diseases written by recognized experts.



For each problem/disorder discussed, the authors offer detailed, specialized advice on diagnosis and treatment methods. Both medical and surgical treatment options are discussed as is cosmetic dermatology. In addition, folk remedies and over-the-counter treatments specifically targeting this population are also covered.
