Atlas of Black Skin: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Atlas of Black Skin" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

As both experience and evidence-based findings indicate, specific dermatological conditions can prove harder to diagnose in patients with darker skin tones. Lack of knowledge or experience can compromise effective treatment and management, leading to lasting consequences for the patient. This atlas strives to supplement a lack of real world experience by providing more than 800 hundred high quality photographs and illustrations help guide physicians in treating the nuances of darker skinned patient populations.
Dr. Moiins own professional experience in treating patients of color on a daily basis and the sheer volume with which he is acquainted with these diseases on darker skin, enable him to provide broader insight and include a myriad of photos to better illustrate diagnoses and treatment plans. Photos range from common to rare diseases to aid in delineating nuances in diseases. Since dermatology is a highly visual field, the focus is more on the images, while the text is comprehensive but concise and often bulleted to allow for practical use.
Written for residents and practicing dermatologists and all other medical professionals, Atlas of Black Skin is an essential tool for practitioners looking to broaden the scope of their care.

Preface

This atlas is currently unique among available dermatological atlases. There are a few books dealing with pigmented skin but no atlases dealing solely with black skin. In this atlas, we hope to help educate clinicians, medical students, and paramedical personnel to learn about conditions that are unique to black skin, as well as common conditions with different presentations in black skin.

Of the images presented in this atlas, all except two come from A Comprehensive Dermatology Center in the Metro Detroit area. Unless the diagnosis is made only on clinical presentation (e.g., acne), the conditions in this atlas have been biopsy-confirmed.

For easier use of the atlas, we do not provide in-depth descriptions of the conditions or their dermatological presentation, as this is an atlas, not a textbook on black skin. We have tried to group the conditions according to broad subcategories (e.g., immunology, cancer). Some images are presented twice because they show conditions pertinent to multiple categories (e.g., psoriasis of the scalp).

We hope this book will be useful across the entirety of the medical field, and we look forward to updating and expanding the atlas as time passes and our patients teach us more about this important area in dermatology.

Black skin Unique conditions Common conditions Aging Protective pigmentation

Our team has a long history of working in the Detroit, Michigan, area, and we have treated many black-skinned patients from all over the world. What is obvious is that people of colorboth African Americans and dark-skinned people in generalhave special conditions that are specific to their ethnicity. If clinicians do not have experience with dark-skinned patients, they may not have encountered common conditions that are not often seen in Caucasian or other light-skinned people, and they may not have treated patients from different national and ethnic backgrounds. As a result, they can mistake a normal condition for abnormal, or vice versa. We thought that the best way to deal with this problem is to provide a book that is specific to skin conditions solely in the black population. We chose to use the term Black Skin because we encounter many patients across the globe with dark skin, not just African Americans.

In addition to the effects of skin color on recognition of some entities and the occurrence of different conditions in black skin, some common conditions present differently in black skin, and black skin may react differently to the environment in conditions such as sun exposure and aging. Aging and its effects are not included in this book, but it is worthwhile to point out that aging as a natural process looks very different in black skin. The criteria that we apply to an aged person of non-black descent are very different from those that we apply to patients with black skin. Figures . The albino patient appears older because of his lack of protective pigmentation.
