{"product_id":"skin-diseases-in-females-9789811660672","title":"Skin Diseases in Females","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book covers dermatological and related esthetic concerns specific to female patients. Since knowing what’s normal is as important as knowing what’s not, first chapters covers physiological differences in the skin of women and the changes during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. Certain commonly encountered dermatoses are more frequent in females – chronic telogen effluvium, rosacea, perioral dermatitis, pigmented contact (cosmetic) dermatitis, etc., which are explained in a more focused manner. Dermatoses exclusive to females involving the vulva is discussed at length. These include common papulosquamous conditions such as psoriasis, lichen planus, and lichen sclerosus as well as the uncommon but challenging plasma cell vulvitis. Breast dermatoses also are predominantly encountered in women and are described in detail in this book.  Importantly, the safety of drugs and biologics in pregnancy and lactation have been covered too.  \u003cbr\u003eOne section is dedicated to the emotional and psychological burden of skin disease in women and certain disorders requiring psychiatric intervention such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (trichotillomania, trichotemnomania) and body dysmorphic disorder. Furthermore, commonly used cosmeceuticals and frequently performed esthetic procedures such as chemical peels, botulinum toxin, and soft tissue augmentation (fillers) are well explained. \u003cbr\u003eSkin diseases in females can cause a significant emotional and psychological impact that can sometimes be more serious than the physical impact. There is a paucity of comprehensive published literature in both journal and books and this book aims to fill that gap. This book is meant as a resource for dermatology residents and trainees, practitioners, and teachers.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.\tPhysiological changes  in femalesa.\tMale versus female skin b.\tPuberty\/ menarche c.\tPregnancy i.\tPregnancy dermatoses ii.\tSafety of dermatologic drugs iii.\tSafety of biologics iv.\tSafety of aesthetic procedures  d.\tMenopause i.\tEstrogen deficient skin: role of topical estrogen 2.\tDermatoses  in femalesa.\tAcne i.\tManagement of acne-an overviewii.\tRole of PCOS iii.\tRole of isotretinoin in females iv.\tRole of hormonal treatment in females b.\tRosacea c.\tHidradenitis suppurativa3.\tPigmentary disorders in femalesa.\tVitiligo b.\tMelasma c.\tPeriocular hyperpigmentation d.\tPigmented contact dermatoses \u0026amp; Lichen planus pigmentosus 4.\tHair disorders in femalesa.\tTelogen effluvium – acute and chronic b.\tFemale pattern hair loss c.\tFrontal fibrosing alopecia d.\tHirsutism e.\tHair disorders in skin of color\u003cbr\u003e5.\tMetabolic syndrome : dermatologic aspects in females 6.\tBody dysmorphic disorder in females7.\tDLQI in females : important disorders with low DLQIs8.\tAesthetic dermatology in femalesa.\tTreatment of cellulite b.\tBreast augmentation -  cutaneous aspects \u0026amp; complications c.\tVaginal rejuvenation d.\tTreatment of the ageing facee.\tThe Sensitive Skin-Do’s and Don’tsf.\tA guide to botulinum toxin and fillersg.\tChemical peels and lasers-special consideration     9.Sexually transmitted diseases in females     10.Tropical diseases in females         a.Leprosy         b.Cutaneous tuberculosis         c.Parasitic infections      11.Nail Disorders in females12.Challenges faced by female dermatologists and training programs available to them\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag, Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53212829679959,"sku":"9789811660672","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/skin-diseases-in-females-9789811660672","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
