Features
|
| Skin that is richly pigmented with melanin presents with more pigmentation in inflammatory diseases and dermal melanin can give the nevi a more grey or blue color that may confuse clinicians if they are not accustomed to seeing such skin types. This book does a good job of pointing out the clues in photographs that provide tips to recognize the correct diagnosis and how the presentation differs compared with much lighter skin tones. |
