Acknowledging that nearly 80% of the world's population belongs to ethnic groups of non-caucasian skin types, this source:- helps physicians enhance their knowledge of the structural, functional, and clinical diversity between skin types
- studies variability in skin structure and function among various groups
- reviews common problems seen by dermatologists in ethnic skin and compares their appearance in caucasian populations
- discusses the mechanisms underlying possible ethnic differences in skin responses
- reviews skin treatment issues unique to the African-American, Hispanic, and Asian communities
Ethnic Skin and Hair defines and reviews the differences in skin and hair function in relation to ethnicity. This book covers basic concepts of human evolution and progresses to discussions of varying skin pigments and phenotypes.
It describes the physiological differences in hair and skin structure and their importance in the modulation of skin responses, as well as their effect on skin aging, cancer, and pigmentation.
