7Preface
‘Dermatology’ is a visual speciality and visual impressions that go a long way in arriving at a diagnosis of various dermatoses. ‘History taking’ and ‘investigations’ can be tailored as per the morphology of the skin lesions. The present mini atlas of Dermatology has been structured in such a way that it should prove useful to the undergraduates and family physicians. Short and crisp write-up and clear photographs of ethnic skin will make it a ready reckoner for the beginners and practitioners keen to serve their patients better but are hard-pressed for time. We are thankful to our colleagues for their encouragements and suggestions. Special thanks to Dr. Amitabh Upadhyay for contributing some of the photographs of this book.
