Pierre Louis Alphée Cazenave

Pierre Louis Alphée Cazenave (5 May 1795 – 9 April 1877) was a French dermatologist who practiced medicine at the Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris.

At Hôpital Saint-Louis, Cazenave was a student of Laurent-Théodore Biett, a physician credited for introducing into French medicine an anatomical approach for analysis of skin disorders.

This analytical method was first developed by two English physicians; Robert Willan and Thomas Bateman.

In 1828, with Henri Édouard Schedel, he published a book based on Biett's lectures and observations, titled Abregé pratique des maladies de la peau.

The compilation was to become a highly influential dermatological work, being translated into a number of different languages.
