Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair 1st Edition
Understand the fascinating intersection of dermatology, anthropology, and cultural studies with Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair, 1st Edition — a groundbreaking resource that explores how ethnicity, culture, and biology shape the unique presentation, perception, and treatment of skin and hair in diverse populations. Now available at Books Hub PK, this pioneering textbook is a must-have for dermatologists, trichologists, cosmetic practitioners, medical students, and researchers working in Pakistan’s multicultural clinical settings.
Dermatoanthropology is an emerging field that examines the social, cultural, and biological factors influencing skin and hair health across ethnic groups. This 1st Edition offers a deep dive into how genetics, climate, traditional grooming practices, cultural beliefs, and social norms interact with dermatological and trichological science — resulting in distinct skin and hair concerns that require tailored care.
Written by leading experts, the book covers the structural differences in ethnic skin and hair, pigmentation biology, and the epidemiology of conditions like hyperpigmentation, keloids, melasma, alopecia, traction hair loss, and specific scalp disorders. It addresses how cultural practices — such as braiding, chemical straightening, or traditional cosmetics — influence hair and skin health, as well as the psychological and social aspects of beauty standards in various communities.
Richly illustrated with clinical photos, anthropological context, and real-world case studies, Dermatoanthropology of Ethnic Skin and Hair equips healthcare professionals to offer culturally sensitive, evidence-based care and to communicate effectively with patients from diverse backgrounds. This is particularly vital in regions like Pakistan, where multi-ethnic communities require dermatologists and cosmetic specialists to navigate both medical and cultural factors.
