COSMOPOLITAN SKIN DISEASES 



Europeans. The smallest wounds, such as those made in tattooing, 

 may be followed by cheloid. In Chinamen it often follows hypo- 

 dermic injections of niiorphia. 



Malignant Connective-Tissue Tumours. 



Multiple sarcomatosis of the skin is rare. We have seen two cases,

Mycosis fungoides has been observed by us once only in a half-

Benign Epithelial Tumours. 



Epithelial moles are frequently observed. 

 Molluscum contagiosum is met with in all races.

 have seen Sinhalese boys covered all over the body with hundreds of 

 warts. Filiform marts are met with, and warfs on the genital organs
