This book is dedicated to all the people who have supported me through my career: To my parents, who have always fostered creativity and intellectual growth To my son, who taught me more about developmental pediatrics than I could have ever learned from a book, and in the happiest of ways And to Dr. Teresita A. Laude, my first teacher on this subject, who generously lent her slides to this work
Preface
The intent of this atlas is to provide a foundation for comparative understanding of pediatric skin diseases between all the races and ethnicities. In this way, we can be better equipped to deal with a future of cutaneous biodiversity in which the majority of our patients will be of color, and where Caucasians will soon be a minority of the population, as they are now in most countries worldwide. Gaps in published literature on racial and ethnic variations do exist, and I try to identify these so that investigators with interest in Pediatric Dermatology can gear future research to filling in these gaps.
