"A comprehensive, yet understandable, approach to skin care and common skin disorders. Topics range from sun protection in children to acne and hormonal effects on the skin, changes due to aging, hair and nail disorders, and cosmetics and surgical procedures designed to improve skin texture and appearance. The book is divided into 10 chapters, with particularly useful information on hair and nail problems, effects of excessive sun exposure (in children and throughout life), genital skin disorders in women, and hormonal effects on the skin. Several tables and illustrations aid in clear presentation of the data.
