This book summarises the key clinical features and their treatment
across a range of skin diseases and describes the decision-making
process when referring patients to specialists. It describes how
treatment of the skin is often very different to other specialities, as
both topical and systemic medications are used, and reviews the clinical
signs, investigation and diagnostic approaches to skin diseases.
Treatment of Skin Diseases: A Practical Guide
principally aids primary care physicians, trainee dermatologists and
dermatology nurse practitioners, but it is also a convenient management
guide for allied health professionals, students and hospital-based
physicians. A concise atlas of diagnostic photographs is included and
incorporated with a simple set of common differentials to provide a
useful reference for primary care readers and those training in
dermatology. The book also contains information on the management of
common skin problems, together providing a comprehensive introduction to
the treatment of skin diseases. The treatment options for secondary and
tertiary care are also included to provide a thorough picture of the
spectrum of dermatologic therapeutics.
