Synopsis

This book combines superb colour photographs and explanatory colour diagrams with concisely written and clinically focussed text to provide the reader with an outstanding illustrated resource in dermatology. Each chapter is consistently organised and lavishly illustrated to give a thorough overview of the subject area and a visual reference that will enable the reader to recognise the full range of presenting signs likely to be seen in everyday practice. Each chapter concentrates on the clinical appearance and pathological features of a variety of skin conditions. Explanatory diagrams supplement the clinical photographs and serve to illustrate and clarify relevant causative agents and underlying pathology. The text is comprehensive yet succinct and gives a brief discussion of cause, clinical presentation, differential diagnosis, investigations and principles of management.
