Dermatology Pocket Picture Book

Book excerpt: This book will be invaluable to GP's and to trainee and practising dermatologists. The text outlines a framework for the diagnosis of common skin disorders, all of which are extensively illustrated with pictures taken from many racial backgrounds. The vocabulary of dermatology and the differential diagnosis of diseases presenting acutely or insidiously in certain regions of the body are discussed. Each caption has been composed to explain and expand upon the photographs. Dermatology is a visual speciality and this atlas should enable anyone to recognise and treat skin conditions.
