5PREFACE
The publication of Essentials of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy could be possible with active cooperation and help from Mr RK Yadav, Director (Publishing), Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd.
Dermatology is now a very big speciality, I tried to put essentials on this subject in this book and I am hopeful that this book will benefit the student community and beginners of the speciality of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy.
As 10% of all outdoor cases in our country covers the patients of Dermatology, broad knowledge on this subject is essential by all medical graduates and postgraduates. This small book will fulfill that need.
I once again thank all my postgraduate students of Armed Forces Medical College, Pune who actively helped me in preparing the text of this book, where I felt the need of writing this book as very few books were available for undergraduate students.
I thank my wife Mrs Bandana Chattopadhyay for encouraging to write this book.
