The International Society of Dermatology was founded by Drs. Aldo Castellani and Frederick Reiss in 1959. The organization was initially named International Society of Tropical Dermatology. It has a special interest in global dermatology and tropical skin diseases, as well as a broad interest in all aspects of dermatology as basic sciences, venereology and public health, and in teaching dermatology in developing countries.

The organizing committee of Drs. George C. Andrews, Anthony C. Cipollaro and J. Lowry Miller recruited an initial worldwide membership of 1,000. Membership is open to all physicians with interest in tropical medicine.

The official publication of the society was published as the quarterly journal Dermatologia Tropica. This journal was later increased to 10 issues yearly and was renamed The International Journal of Dermatology (IJD). Currently, IJD is published every month.
