This concise yet comprehensive, fully illustrated, four-colour textbook has established itself as a favourite amongst undergraduate medical students, nurses and pharmacists in practice and in training, and with general practitioners and other physicians seeking a clear and well-illustrated guide to dermatology. Since the last edition, there have been exciting advances in dermatology, both in treatment and in our understanding of the molecular biology of the diseases. The new edition includes thoroughly updated material on all common skin diseases, their clinical features, aetiology, pathology, necessary investigations and treatment. In response to developments in medical education, Clinical Dermatology has been extensively rewritten to take account of the changing structure of many undergraduate medical curricula. Problem-based learning exercises, special study module projects and problem case discussions are included.
Review quote:
The layout and four-colour text printing means the book is easy to read, with colourful text boxes for tables and key points. The content includes a comprehensive introduction to dermatology, skin biology, common inflammatory and infectious diseases, skin tumours, relevant systemic conditions and therapy . . . The book should continue to be popular with undergraduates.
Clinical Dermatology is designed as a problem-solving book. In addition to the inclusion of problem-solving exercises, a number of projects are suggested thus the aim of the book is to stimulate self-education rather than passive learning. The book concentrates on the three major areas in dermatology - dermatitis, acne and eczema.
