Manual of Primary Care Dermatology (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This manual describes the issues of diagnosing and managing skin diseases relevant to primary care, where the vast majority of dermatology patients are initially investigated. In most circumstances, primary care physicians need to assess and diagnose skin conditions without the aid of any laboratory or other diagnostic tests. Given that dermatological training for primary care providers is limited, this can make it challenging to diagnose skin diseases accurately, more so for those in the early stages of their career.

The Manual of Primary Care Dermatology is written by a dermatologically trained practicing primary care physician to address the issues in managing skin diseases in primary care medicine. It provides readers with practical guidance on the differential diagnosis of skin diseases. The anatomical approach presented makes it easy for the reader to manage their patients' skin condition. With chapters dedicated to lesions of the scalp, face or upper extremity, it represents a quick reference book even for a busy practitioner. It is therefore essential reading for all primary care physicians and dermatologists looking for a compact reference to the differential diagnosis of all skin diseases.
