Buch, Englisch, 470 Seiten

It is a simplified, brief description of common dermatoses, peppered with numerous clinical and histopathology images (about 750), body and line diagrams (about 100) and tables (about 100). The� basic aim of the book is to familiarize medical students (and general practitioners) with manifestations of the common skin conditions they are likely to encounter in their day-to-day practice and to help them to manage� these� appropriately, without succumbing� to the morbid temptation of prescribing steroids,� which are often thought to be 'panacea of all skin ills'.

. Revised and updated, while retaining the main features of the book.
. More images: since Dermatology is a visual speciality, some text has been pruned to accommodate about 100 new pictures.
. Appendix on structure and function of skin.
. New treatment modalities including 'biologicals' have been included in the chapter "Treatment of Skin Diseases�.
. Recent WHO/CDC/NACO guidelines have been incorporated in the chapter "Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV Infection�.
