ETHNIC DERMATOLOGY
Principles and Practice
Richly pigmented skin is the most common skin type internationally

Grading scales in dermatologic disease
Pediatric dermatology
Dermatology and systemic disease
Drug eruptions
Hair and scalp disorders
Cosmetic dermatology.
With a central focus on practical action from an international cast of authors,
gives you the clinical tools you need when skin color matters.
