Since publication of the previous edition, there have been several important developments in the field. One major issue that was not addressed is skin cancer in adolescents. Due to tanning beds and other factors, the prevalence of skin cancer in adolescents is rising. Various diagnoses and managements are addressed. Infections from body art such as tattoos and piercings is also a hot topic that has been added. The number of youths getting tattoos and piercings has also risen and subsequently so have complications from them.
