Understanding Vulvar Disease Diagnosis in Darker Skin Types

By Nina Madnani

There has been a significant increase in cross-migration of women from various ethnicities, cultures, and with varying skin color. However, with publications mainly focused on Fitz Skin types 14, accurate vulvar disease diagnosis in darker skin types may be compromised, resulting in suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Diseases appear quite different as the color disguises much of the erythema, which is prominently seen in the Caucasian population.

This book is focused on female genital dermatoses and fills in those gaps for healthcare workers looking to accurately diagnose and manage such patients. It provides inclusive and consolidated contents on disorders of female genital skin and mucosa, featuring more than 300 high-quality illustrations and impressive treatment algorithms, making it a ready reckoner for dermatologists, gynecologists, and general physicians.

Facilitating diagnosis and further management of vulvar disease in the darker skin types, thus optimizing patient care, is the primary goal of this book. It features collective contributions from experts across the country and simplifies the patient consult by providing ready answers to frequently asked questions.
