As you pick up the Atlas of Vulvovaginal Disease in Darker Skin Types, you wonder about the need for one more book on the same subject. Yes, there are several great publications out there, but most of them showcase diseases in Fitzpatrick Types 1–3. Today, with globalization and the relocation of individuals across the world, there is a need to recognize the disease in patients with darker skin. India, a huge country, boasts of diversity in skin color and cultural habits. With all our collective experiences, there is enough clinical material to serve as a great reference for any healthcare individual interested in managing vulvar disease in darker skin types.Dermatology is a very visual field, and the more one sees the easier it gets to arrive at a diagnosis. Hence, we have included more than 300 images in Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin types. Flowcharts of a few of the common presentations will make it easier for clinicians to manage their patients. A separate chapter on pediatric vulvar disease showcases various conditions in children. Although dermoscopy has not been standardized for vulvar skin conditions, we have included some images where relevant. Often, it gets tricky answering patients’ queries about their conditions. To assist the caregivers, we have included a section on FAQs (frequently asked questions).This atlas does not claim to be a comprehensive textbook on vulvar disease. But it is certainly more than an atlas to guide dermatologists, gynecologists, family physicians, and post-graduate students in the diagnosis and management of patients with the vulvar disease.We wish you happy reading.
