Of these specific conditions, the book includes chapters on eczema, bullous diseases, hair disorders, acne, and papulosquamous disorders.

Download or read book Epidemiology and Pathophysiology of Common Skin Diseases in West Africa written by Osazomon Imarenezor and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This capstone reviews the common skin diseases on a global scale. With these dermatoses being further funneled into Africa and then magnified into common West African dermatoses, the meta-analyses of literature available paints a clear picture of the epidemiological & pathological factors and their contribution to the skin disease. Each article analysed in this analysis was taken from a 20-year span of January 2000 to December 2019. The selection of articles was fine-tuned by identifying the distribution of skin disease, revealing the populations affected (age, gender, ethnicity, etc), the main causes, country of origin, the prognosis of disease, and the pathology of the specific skin condition. The top 15 common skin diseases of West-Africa ranked by count and relative frequency are Atopic Dermatitis (RF: 7.49%), Pityriasis (Tinea) Versicolor (RF: 4.94%), Acne Vulgaris (RF: 3.73%), Papular Urticaria (RF: 3.47%), Tinea (unspecified dermatophytosis) (RF: 2.94%), Contact Dermatitis (RF: 2.94%), Scabies (RF: 2.76%), Seborhheic Dermatitis (RF: 2.50%), Pityriasis Rosea (RF: 2.26%), Urticaria (2.18%), Human Pappilomavirus / Viral Warts (1.85%), Tinea Capitis (RF: 1.80%), Lichen Planus (1.77%), Vitiligo (RF: 1.77%) and Lichen Simplex Chronicus (RF: 1.45%). Moreover, each epidemiological and pathophysiological/pathological factor plays a role in skin disease, and unveiling the methods, such as potential immunotherapies and public health initiatives, to alleviate the burden of these dermatoses are at the forefront of continuing this research.

This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People of African ancestry have sensitive skin and may suffer from a wide variety of skin disorders. Hair disorders are also common and differ from those suffered by Caucasians. This issue of the Dermatologic Clinics focuses on the most common skin and hair disorders seen in black skin, with articles focusing on acne scarring, alopecia, keloids, and skin pigmentation. There are also articles addressing moisturizers for the skin and the effect of hair treatments on the hair and scalp. Also discussed is the sociohistoric issues that can cloud the scientific understanding of clinical entities. Emphasis is often put on race and yet a very clear distinction should be made between race and quantifiable entities such as pigment and hair curl as determinants for skin/hair disease predilection; this is quite distinct from race as a surrogate for social class and a disease determinant for most medical conditions and malignancies.
