Written from a global perspective to include Asian, African-Caribbean and North African skin types, it covers all the bases of dermatology including: Grading scales in dermatologic disease, Pediatric dermatology, Dermatology and systemic disease, Drug eruptions, Hair and scalp disorders, Cosmetic dermatology.
