“Our conception of the scope of dermatology must be so widened as to include every pathologic manifestation which occurs in the integument, irrespective of the cause or the nature, from a practical standpoint. The great value and importance of dermatology is that it should teach us to know the nature of various processes, as they affect not only the skin but the whole economy. Dermatology should be for the physician as a key with which the skin is made to reveal, in many instances at least, the nature of the process at work in the general system or in special organs, which without this aid might remain obscure."
- Louis A. Duhring, 1845-1913.
