    TLDR The book is valuable for insights into women's skin issues and historical beauty practices.
    The book "Women's Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity" explored gender-specific dermatological issues, highlighting the historical and cultural aspects of women's skincare and beauty practices. It addressed the science behind cosmetics, including the risks of bacterial contamination and the ineffectiveness of topical treatments for cellulite, while suggesting lymphatic massage and subcision as potential solutions. The text also discussed the unique dermatological challenges faced by women of different ethnic backgrounds, such as traction alopecia in African women due to cultural hair practices. Despite some omissions, particularly in vulval dermatology, the book was considered valuable for its insights into women's dermatological issues and historical beauty practices, appealing to dermatologists, gynaecologists, and general practitioners.
