Popis: The clinical features and management of many common cutaneous conditions, including acne, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea, are consistent across skin types, but some findings associated with these entities, most importantly skin inflammation, can present uniquely in skin of color and lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. This chapter provides an overview of commonly encountered skin diseases, highlighting the variations in presentation that can be seen in skin of color. The aim of this chapter is to aid the practitioner in recognizing common skin diseases and selecting appropriate treatments for a wide variety of skin types.
