Preface
There are many complexities associated with selection of appropriate treatment for cutaneous diseases. These complexities increase when selecting treatment for patients with skin of color due to structural and functional differences in their skin and hair as well as differing adverse event profiles. Treatment for Skin of Color is an important resource that will allow the practicing clinician to quickly identify evidence-based treatment options for their skin of color patients. The scope of the book is extensive beginning with medical dermatology followed by follicular disorders, tumors, cosmetics and concluding with alternative medicine. Each therapy covered has been assigned an evidence level from A (the strongest scientific evidence) to E (anecdotal case reports) reflecting the amount of published evidence available to support its use.
The truly outstanding authors of Treatment for Skin of Color, to whom I am indebted, were chosen for this project based upon the strength of their clinical skills, and their ability to educate and present information in an organized, succinct and easily absorbable manner. The work of Drs. Rodriguez, Gathers, Badreshia-Bansal, and Callender with diverse patient populations coupled with their clinical research experience have allowed us to produce a unique resource.
When a question or therapeutic dilemma arises in a teaching clinic or private office setting, Treatment for Skin of Color is a quick reference for either the dermatology resident or the more experienced clinician. Additionally, by providing extensive references, it provides the first step for a seamless in-depth look into topics of interest.
