Louis Adolphus Duhring (December 23, 1845 - May 8, 1913) was an American physician and professor of dermatology at the University of Pennsylvania.
After a stint with the 32nd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers in the American Civil War, Duhring enrolled at the University of Penn's Medical School, graduating in 1867. In 1870, he established the Dispensary for Skin Diseases in Philadelphia.
In 1876 Duhring was a founding member of the American Dermatological Society. Between 1876 - 1880 he wrote the "Atlas of Skin Diseases", and in 1877 published "A Practical Treatise on Diseases of the Skin", a textbook which established Duhring as a leading authority in American dermatology.
Dermatitis herpetiformis; sometimes referred to as Duhring's disease, is named after him.
