Synopsis

The branch of medicine that deals with the medical and surgical aspects of skin is called dermatology. There are various specialized fields in dermatology such as cosmetic dermatology, dermatopathology, trichology, immunodermatology, Mohs surgery, teledermatology, etc. Immunodermatology is a field that specializes in curing immune-mediated skin diseases such as lupus, bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, etc. Another speciality known as Mohs surgery targets the excision of skin cancers, employing the technique for intraoperative assessment of deep tumor margins. A type of dermatological practice which involves telecommunication technologies to exchange medical information and treatment through audio, visual, and data communication is called teledermatology. Therapies that are used frequently in dermatology include cryosurgery for the treatment of warts, skin cancers and other dermatoses; laser therapy for the treatment of birth marks, skin disorders, tattoo removal and cosmetic rejuvenation; and photodynamic therapy for the treatment of skin cancers and precancerous growth. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of dermatology. Its aim is to present the emerging technologies within this field. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
