Diagnosis  and  management of pigmentary skin disorders has become an important area in dermatology as the demand for treatment of these conditions has increased exponentially,  particularly with skin of color. However, coverage in standard texts regarding various pigmentary disorders is insufficient and the need for focused attention on new developments and latest research findings is growing. 

This book is a compilation of a unique collection of chapters of updates on pigmentary disorders. The new edition has expanded and updated on the contents and added several brand new chapters. It is written and edited by international leaders in the field and chapters include a clinician’s approach to categorizing pigmentary disorders, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, lasers in pigmentary disorders, and drug-induced pigmentation. 

Pigmentary Skin Disorders will be a great resource for the dermatologists, pigment cell researchers and dermatology trainees studying disorders of pigmentation.
