From the reviews: "The purpose is to educate dermatologists in recognizing the range of clinical presentations various skin diseases have in different skin types. The audience is dermatologists and pediatricians. ... This book offers a relatively easy way to become familiar with the range of clinical presentations of a given skin condition in different skin color types. Medical students would benefit from studying the book during their pediatric dermatology rotation." (Patricia Wong, Doody's Review Service, November, 2012)
