Dermatology: An Illustrated Colour Text is the leading textbook for medical students, residents, dermatology trainees, specialist nurses and family practitioners needing concise, up-to-date information on recognising and treating skin conditions.
Honed over multiple editions and packed full of high-quality images, the book is presented as a series of two page 'learning units' covering the essential aspects of clinical dermatology. It offers concise, easy-to-read information, and comes with high-yield summaries, clear photos and diagrams.
This eighth edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate the latest understanding of dermatological conditions, treatment and technologies, as well as increased representation of conditions on a range of skin tones to reflect diverse patient populations encountered in clinical dermatology.
