Fully updated and revised—the go-to guide for accurately diagnosing and effectively treating dermatologic conditions of patients with skin of color
A Doody's Core Title for 2026!
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. Taylor and Kelly’s Dermatology for Skin of Color, Third Edition provides important information on every aspect of skin science as it applies to skin of color, from basic cutaneous biology to clinical management of diseases in patients with skin of color. This acclaimed, updated textbook fills a gap in dermatology literature, delivering comprehensive and in-depth review of diseases written by recognized experts.
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.
