Paediatric Cases in Coloured Skin

Dermatology in Children with Coloured Skin by Ranthilaka R. Gammanpila and Ajith P. Kannangara emphasizes the visual nature of dermatology, where careful observation is crucial for accurate diagnosis—particularly in pediatric patients. Designed for clinicians, this book provides a clear, practical guide to identifying skin diseases in children with darker skin tones. It presents over 200 dermatological conditions with more than 300 full-color illustrations, organized logically and complemented by picture-based Q&A for reinforcement. The text addresses pediatric-specific conditions such as haemangiomas, congenital naevi, neurocutaneous syndromes, and napkin rash, alongside disorders also seen in adults, including psoriasis, lichen planus, and eczema. Tropical and infectious diseases, including cutaneous tuberculosis, leishmaniasis, fungal infections, and leprosy, are also covered.
