Description
Summary:Abstract The history of dermatology is a significant aspect of the specialty, if only to put into perspective the development of the specialty. Early pioneers recorded the progress made in the specialty, as it became a separate discipline in the latter part of the 19th century. Periodically, dermatologic societies and meetings have shown interest by including sessions and exhibits on the specialty. Dermatology journals often have often included contributions on the advancement of the specialty. The History of Dermatology Society (HDS), French Society for the History of Dermatology (SFHD), and the European Society for the History of Dermatology and Venereology (ESHDV) foster the historical approach of the discipline.
