Description

This book of “Dermatological Diagnosis” provides a worldwide survey of clinical and investigative dermatology. Dermatology offers the analytical dermatologist a broad range of information, from practical problem solving to a deeper mechanistic understanding of skin diseases, while at the same time providing space for further hypotheses that may help to find new solutions to old problems. The book is intended to educate and aid medical students, interns, residents, and practicing physicians who see patients with dermatologic problems. The author suggests that experienced dermatologists will find the book useful as a practical compendium of therapies and as a source for illustrating diseases to patients. The book consists many chapters written by a single author and an appendix that contains a dermatologic formulary.Clinical Dermatology, by Gavin Harewood MD, provides an excellent introduction to dermatology for nondermatologists. For practicing dermatologists, the summaries are valuable. Also, the brief reviews of common and uncommon skin diseases provide a quick refresher course and superb patient-education material.
