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

- 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, Ethnic Dermat
