Asians are a diverse group of people. They consist of people from South Asia, which includes the subcontinent region of Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka; South-East Asia, which includes countries such as Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Philippines; and East Asia, which includes China, Japan, and Korea. In these regions, people with Fitzpatrick skin types III to V predominate. Dermatoses involving Asians often take on a slightly different clinical appearance from those affecting Caucasians, who predominantly have Fitzpatrick skin types I and II. This is due to the differences in melanin content and its distribution as well as different pigmentary responses following skin inflammation and injury. In addition, inherent genetic differences and unique cultural practices result in a different spectrum of skin conditions seen in Asians.
The second edition of the Asian Skin Atlas was published in 2013. In this revised edition, we have updated new developments and added supplementary histological and dermoscopic features that may be accessed by readers using accompanying QR codes.
This comprehensive atlas of dermatology contains more than 1,450 high quality clinical and histological pictures of dermatoses affecting Asians. Conditions unique to Asians such as nevus of Ota/Ito, Hori’s nevus, Ofuji’s’ disease, progressive macular confluent hypomelanosis, cutaneous plasmacytosis, cutaneous amyloidosis as well as conditions with a geographical Asia bias such as cutaneous larval migrans and chronic arsenic poisoning are well illustrated. This compilation will serve as a valuable reference atlas and an essential companion to dermatology textbooks for all dermatologists managing patients of Asian descent.
