“To study medicine without books is to sail an uncharted sea; while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.”
—William Osler
“Trichology” refers to study of “hair-related disorders”. It is an upcoming branch of dermatology as 10–20% of dermatological out-patients present with hair-related problems. There is an ocean of opportunities for research work in hair-related disorders due to paucity of literature in this subspecialty and also need for a updated book that would throw light on management of hair-related conditions.
Hence, to fill up this void, we have planned to bring out a comprehensive textbook on hair and its related diseases in its entirety.
In the first edition of the book, we have aimed to provide an extensive data on hair-related disorders to complement the details available in major textbooks in the field of dermatology. We assure that the work has been sufficiently researched and hopefully would merit further editions. The various sections are based on presenting symptoms and signs, differential diagnosis, therapeutics and surgical modalities highlighted with text boxes and illustrations. Recent advances in the field of trichology have prompted the management of hair and hair disorders enormously, and this is reflected in the descriptions in the relevant sections.
We hope that this treatise will provide the knowledge and confidence to clinicians and postgraduates to untangle the locks of hair and scalp disorders.
We acknowledge the contribution of Sumedha Ballal, Divya Gorur, Chitrika, Shruti C, Varsha Shetty, Kumar Abhishek, Pushpa KR, Shalini, Maheshwari, Amina Asfiya and Linda Robert towards this project.
