TLDR The book simplifies dermatology terms to make communication among dermatologists easier.
"Dermatology Terminology" by Herbert B. Allen aimed to bridge the gap between commonly used vocabulary and technical terminology in dermatology. The book described dermatological diseases using keywords, which were concise terms or acronyms that replaced longer formal descriptions. Each keyword was paired with a photo and a brief description, sourced from Dr. Allen's collection or Drexel Dermatology's collection, along with a literature reference. This approach facilitated easier communication among dermatologists by standardizing the language used to describe various skin conditions.
