In Pakistan, skin disease has developed into one of the top three medical conditions experienced by those affected by August’s massive floods.
Dr. Aisha Sethi is a professor of dermatology at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Her interests in tropical dermatology, immigrant minority and refugee populations and global skin infectious diseases have led her to field work in Pakistan, Malawi and Tanzania.
