Recognition and treatment of skin disease is an important element in the practice of medicine. Skin disorders are common and often extremely disabling, and all physicians will inevitably come into contact with patients suffering from itches, rashes and skin ulcers, as well as skin manifestations of systematic disease, during their training and in clinical practice.

This book has been thoroughly updated and refined throughout in this 17th edition. Adopting a more concise and user friendly style, it includes an increased emphasis on basic science, diagnostic procedures and clinical management.

This new edition features:

•New chapter on the application of basic science to the practice of dermatology
•Introduction to the skills of history taking, physical examination, and investigative methods in patients with skin disorders
•Chapter summary boxes for ready reference and during exam revision
•Real life case histories
•Key clinical points summerized in each chapter
