Preface
Vashi and Maibach’s Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair is a com-
prehensivetextthatextensivelyexaminescutaneousdiseaseinpersonswithskinof
color. The breadth of knowledge in this book encompasses the wide scope of
dermatologicdiseasewith26distinctanduniquechapters.Itservesasaguidetothe
diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders for those populations with darker skin
types.
Thisbookprovidesanoverviewofmedical,surgical,andcosmeticdermatology
inadditiontoprovidinganextensiveanthropologicalandbasicsciencebackground
tofullyunderstandskindisordersinpersonsofcolor.Topicsofdiscussioninclude
anthropology of skin and hair, biophysical properties of ethnic skin, structure and
function of the skin, physiologic pigmentation, mucosal lesions, acne, rosacea,
inflammatory disorders, infections, autoimmune disorders, connective tissue dis-
ease, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation and depigmentation, keloids, scarring,
pediatric disease, alopecias, adnexal disorders, common cosmetic concerns and
treatments, and cultural considerations.
As the domestic and worldwide populations evolve, dermatologists will
increasingly have to recognize nuances in skin disorders that occur in darker skin.
We hope that this book helps dermatologists with the challenges involved in
treating those with darker skin tones in culturally appropriate ways. It has been a
greathonortohaveleadersinthefieldofdermatologyandethnicskincontributeto
