Greetings from Sri Lanka!
We are pleased to invite you to attend the second International Conference on Tropical Dermatology (ICTD), which will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo from 11th to 14th of March 2026. This esteemed event is co-organized by the Sri Lanka College of Dermatology and Aesthetic Medicine (SLCDA) in collaboration with the Deutsche Dermatologische Gesellschaft / German Dermatological Society (DDG).
Nearly 40% of the world's population resides in tropical countries, and the prevalence of skin diseases in these regions is rising at an alarming rate. Tropical skin diseases are unique, and challenging to treat. Furthermore, these diseases are no longer limited to tropical regions. Due to increased travel and migration, dermatologists outside the tropics are encountering patients with tropical skin diseases with increasing frequency. Therefore, a sound knowledge of tropical dermatology is an asset to any dermatologist.
Dear Colleagues and friends of Tropical Dermatology,
On behalf of the German Dermatological Society (DDG) and the International Society of Tropical Dermatology (ISDT, Germany) it is a great pleasure and honor to announce the 2nd International Congress of Tropical Dermatology in Colombo. Together with the SLCDA, we are enthusiastically putting together a multi-day program on Tropical Dermatological Diseases.
Specialists from Sri Lanka, Germany but also from many other countries will present both practical and scientifically oriented lectures (etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostics and therapy) on tropical diseases from March 11, 2026. We look forward to lively interest and fruitful discussions with all participants!
