Dermatology Made Easy 2e has been comprehensively updated but remains designed to help GPs, medical students and dermatologists diagnose skin conditions with confidence.
Diagnosis is simplified by providing a comprehensive set of tables which offer differentials by symptom, morphology, or body site – including over 500 thumbnail photos.
Once you have narrowed down the diagnosis, cross-references guide you to more detailed descriptions, and another 700 photographs, covering:
- common infections
- inflammatory rashes
- non-inflammatory conditions
- skin lesions
Every section provides consistent information on the disorder:
- who gets it and what causes it?
- what are the clinical features and does it cause any complications?
- how do you diagnose it?
- how do you treat it and how long does it take to resolve?
The book concludes with a comprehensive section on further investigations and treatment options.
Dermatology Made Easy is the ideal rapid clinical reference – guiding diagnosis, advising on clinical features and offering the best treatment options.
Printed in full colour throughout.
