Taylor and Kelly’s Dermatology for Skin of Color, 3rd Edition (EPUB)

The focus in dermatology and related texts is often on light European skin with scant attention to the diagnosis and treatment of dermatologic disease in people with medium and darker skin tones.

For each problem/disorder discussed, the authors offer detailed, specialized advice on diagnosis and treatment methods, including medical, surgical, and cosmetic treatment options. In addition, over-the-counter treatments and folk remedies specifically targeting this population are covered.
