Skin diseases first described in Japan.
Over the 90 year history of dermatology in Japan, about 30 skin diseases have been first described by our colleagues. Although some of them have become well known internationally, many of them are less well known outside of Japan. In this article, we introduce those conditions first described in Japan which are lesser known but have international significance.
