This book details the phenomena of cutaneous diseases from a historic perspective, exploring their connections to the history of medicine and the evolution of dermatologic treatment. The author begins in the ancient world, discussing how priests and barber-surgeons first encountered skin ailments, and proceeds through the groundbreaking work of 19th century researchers. The book outlines important milestones in the study of skin disease, from the classifications proposed by Willan and Bateman, through the discovery of the germ theory of disease, to the development of diagnostic tools such as the microscope and the Wood's lamp.
