Preface of the scientific reviewer

«We live in a world of high technology, Information surrounds us everywhere: on the Internet, on the streets and at home. And our task is to be able to select from all this abundance only high-quality material that will be useful to us, our families and those around us.

When I agreed to the role of scientific editor, I had no idea how useful reading the book by Dr. of Medical Sciences Yael Adler would be. Ironically, I was lucky enough to get acquainted with it in Germany, while on vacation with my mother. The book will be of interest to everyone: simple and at the same time scientific language, supplied with a share of humor and irony, will not leave indifferent neither an adult, nor a teenager; neither a doctor, nor a person far from medicine; neither a woman, nor a man.

The author describes situations that I have encountered more than once and, recalling all these stories, smiled and laughed at my appointments. This once again proves how relatable the book is to people from different countries.

The book describes the structure of the skin, the most important dermatological diseases, and cosmetic problems in accessible language. A large role is given to a healthy lifestyle and disease prevention measures.

I am sure everyone will find something useful here, because the skin, in addition to being the largest organ of the human body, is also an entire world that we are gradually beginning to get to know.

Read and enjoy!
