To our knowledge, there has not been anything similar published to date. By presenting various cases and how to manage such cases, we aim to educate dermatology trainees and practicing dermatologist who are trying to familiarize themselves with phototherapy. A recent study has shown that many dermatologists do not know how to administer phototherapy, and most graduating residents do not have adequate teaching and experience with administering phototherapy during their residencies. Therefore, the hope is that this book will fill a critical gap in the field of dermatology.Clinical Cases in Dermatology,2730-6178DermatologyDermatologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H1900XDermatology.Dermatology.616.5Koo Johnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut755396Nakamura Mioauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910165150803321Clinical Cases in Phototherapy2517297UNINA
