Abstract
John Laws Milton, a 19th-Century surgeon, founded the St John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin close to Leicester Square in London in 1863. This article reviews his single-minded effort to establish dermatology as a medical subspeciality and to create a proper skin diseases hospital. The review also details his many contributions to the medical and dermatological literature, including his insightful description of the pregnancy dermatosis, herpes (pemphigoid) gestationis.
