Abstract

Background: The World Health Academy of Dermatology, the Vitiligo Research Foundation, the Military Medical Academy of Belgrade Serbia, the University of Parma-Italy and the University of Rome Guglielmo Marconi, Rome-Italy have successfully joined Vietnamese Dermatology Community in the ambitious project of positionìng Vietnam in the Dermatologic Olympus.

Aim: The aim of our special issue is to present some pearls of the Vietnamese Dermatology devoted to the description of the national and hopefully international declining of traditional therapies.

Methods: We present 36 contributions from all academic hospitals of Vietnam reflecting the therapeutic strategies and every day's dermato-venereology practice in Vietnam.

Results: This special issue show the efficacy and safety of our Vietnamese approach continuously embracing the concept that "old and traditional is beautiful when safe, effective and cheap".

Conclusion: Vietnamese Dermatology is deeply concerned with any possible marketing orientated lucrative therapies, thus emphasising the risk/benefits ratio of "old-traditional" versus "new" therapeutic strategies.
