This medical reference book boasts an intuitive and easy to use format that covers the full spectrum of options, equipping you with not only standard treatment strategies, but second- and third-line therapies for instances when other alternatives fail. You’ll be thoroughly prepared to offer your patients the expertly informed medical care they deserve when facing common or complex dermatologic diseases.

"It is a book I keep in my clinic, along with Bolognia’s Dermatology and a drug rash book. I would feel vulnerable without them." Reviewed by: Neill Hepburn MD FRCP Consultant Dermatologist, Lincoln County Hospital, 2014

"Without doubt this is an excellent book and the reader is encouraged to dip in and read around a topic and enhance their knowledge. It is also a super reference book, particulary when wanting more information about dermatological therapeutics - an area that is often neglected."

About this title

Review:

"This is one of my favorite dermatology books IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD. Avoid finding yourself stumped on what to do next for the challenging patient with whom "you have tried everything." Your next step should be this book. There is a code that you can use to access the reference online. I am unaware of any comparable reference." Reviewed by: Patricia Wong, MD(Stanford University Medical Center) Doody Review: 5 stars "As a self-confessed bibliophile, I have many books – some I have not even opened but just enjoy having while others are real workhorses that I use most days. Treatment of Skin Disease is firmly in the second category. It is a book I keep in my clinic, along with Bolognia’s Dermatology and a drug rash book. I would feel vulnerable without them. Of course, by using the web version (you get free access with the book), you can access it easily at the clinic, but I prefer the hard copy myself." Reviewed by: Neill Hepburn MD FRCP Consultant Dermatologist, Lincoln County Hospital, 2014

"Without doubt this is an excellent book and the reader is encouraged to dip in and read around a topic and enhance their knowledge. It is also a super reference book, particulary when wanting more information about dermatological therapeutics - an area that is often neglected.

Of course as expected in a classy dermatology book, the production values are superb with plenty of pretty pictures - in colour of course.

All in all, this is a top class dermatology book and is ideal to quickly look up and read what is the best theraphy or range of treatments for a given condition." Reviewed by: Dr Harry Brown on behalf of Glycosmedia, April 2014
