Author Description

This text continues to offer the features that have made it one of the most popular guides to diagnosis and therapy among dermatologists and generalists alike: a practical, clinical approach; abundant high-quality photographs; pediatric dermatologic drug formulary; and a differential diagnosis index. This new edition also features a greatly expanded patient information section, making the book even more appealing to primary care physicians. 500 full-color photographs, 2 full-color line drawings, and 23 one-color line drawings enhance the lucid, practical text. A Problem-Oriented Differential Diagnosis Index covers both the front- and end-papers, offering a convenient index for busy practitioners who encounter a difficult or unclear case. A concise Dermatopharmacology and Topical Formulary designed specifically for pediatric patients helps clinicians develop therapeutic regimens. An expanded Patient Information section enables physicians to duplicate the sheets for use in their own practices. The authors direct readers to the section when appropriate.
