Printed on acid-free paper Springer International Publishing AG Switzerland is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Prel ude C linical cases are a key component in modern medical educa- tion, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual cases using best practice techniques. Dermatology is an important discipline in this regard since it is a highly visual specialty requiring the reader to describe subtle differences in the presentation of patients and accu- rately define the diagnostic and management criteria to base their clinical decision making on. Census projections predict that by the year 2042, people with skin of color (including Africans, African Americans, Asians, Native Americans, and Hispanic/Latinos) will repre- sent more than half of the US population. There is now an increasing demand for dermatologic treatments in patients with skin of color, as well as an accompanying need for edu- cation and training in this quickly expanding market. Skin of color is a key topic within dermatology as specific conditions can be harder to diagnose effectively in darker skin, and their treatment can be compromised by this. Conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and atopic dermatitis may be more difficult to diagnose in darker skin. There are various other conditions that can provide a challenge in management, including postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, melasma, scarring, alopecias, and pseudofolliculitis barbae. If these skin disor- ders are not diagnosed and treated properly, the initial lesions can become darker as they heal, and the darker spots can last for years in some cases. Scarring may also occur. This book will identify the top dermatological conditions for patients with skin of color and provide essential features v vi Prelude which contrast these conditions in darker skin types. The reader will be able to formulate informed treatment regi- mens for patients with skin of color. This book will also pro- vide clinical pearls to guide decision making, as well as important cultural beliefs that must be considered in order to provide optimal care to patients with skin of color.
