This book is a concise guide to superficial fungal infections on the skin for dermatologists and GPs. Divided into two sections, the first part of the book discusses normal skin flora (microorganisms that reside on the skin, many of which are bacteria mostly found in the superficial layers of the skin and the upper parts of hair follicles). The second section covers the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of superficial fungal infections. The book serves as a quick reference guide for `on-the spot' diagnosis. Clinical photographs, illustrations and tables further enhance the text. Key points Concise guide to diagnosis and management of superficial fungal infections on the skin In depth discussion on normal skin flora Quick reference guide for `on-the-spot' diagnosis Features clinical photographs, illustrations and tables to assist learning

 

 

 

This second edition of the Oxford Handbook of Medical Dermatology provides practical and accessible advice on how to reach a diagnosis or create a management plan when faced with patients with a range of skin conditions.

Giving concise and clear guidance on investigation and treatment, this Handbook helps doctors adopt a step-by-step approach at the bedside to make sense of skin problems by analysing clinical signs. Illustrated and in full colour, it covers skin physiology, an overview of common skin conditions, and skin problems commonly seen in a broad range of specialities, from rheumatology to psychiatry, as well as children and the elderly.

Now comprehensively updated with new clinical pictures, references, and extensively reworked chapters on skin in infancy and childhood, cutaneous reactions to drugs, skin tumours, and rheumatology. This second edition now includes a brand new chapter on skin and genetics, detailing this fast-growing and important area of dermatology, promoting good communication with a patient-centred and practical common-sense approach for trainees in dermatology, junior doctors, GPs, and medical students.

Description:

Chemical peeling is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin that is typically performed on the face, neck or hands. In this treatment, a chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to "blister" and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin (American Society for Dermatologic Surgery). This book is a practical guide to chemical peel processes for dermatologists. Divided into 41 sections, the text begins with an overview of the history and classification of chemical peels, histology of skin and wound healing, basic chemistry and patient assessment and preparation. The following chapters cover numerous types of chemical peel treatments for a variety of disorders, and the book concludes with discussion on peel treatment results amongst patients of different ethnicities and skin tones. Edited by internationally recognised specialists in the field of dermatology, the book is highly illustrated with nearly 350 clinical photographs and tables to enhance learning.

The best-selling text has been completely revised and revitalised in this fifth edition, with the authors once again encouraging general practitioners, medical students, general physicians and early stage dermatology specialist trainees and interns to relish the unique challenge of diagnosing and treating skin conditions. Clinical Dermatology, 5th edition contains over 400 high quality pictures and diagrams combined with colourful phrases to illustrate and entertain as it teaches. The book has established a reputation as a ‘way of learning’ and as an accessible guide to the subject for the aspiring specialist. Readers are guided through the maze that too often lies between the presenting skin complaint and its final diagnosis and treatment. The authors have skilfully crafted an easily read text with enough detail to clarify the subject, but not enough to obscure it. This fifth edition contains new chapters on non-invasive physical treatment and dermoscopy, and new material on cosmetic dermatology, surgical dermatology, the skin and the psyche, and dermatoses of non-Caucasian skin.

 

 

Description:

A unique systematic approach to dermatologic diagnosis Guidebook to Dermatologic Diagnosis provides an innovative and methodical approach to the diagnosis of skin lesions and rashes. Centered around “The Wheel of Diagnosis” which factors in several important clinical considerations necessary to formulate an accurate diagnosis, the book is enhanced by numerous full-color images organized by clinical appearance rather than known diagnosis. This type of image grouping is specifically designed to teach readers how to think through and eventually arrive at an accurate diagnosis. Each chapter is also enhanced by tips on special testing, management, as well as the diagnostic approach. Although primarily written to be an innovative way to enhance dermatologic diagnostic skills, this unique resource can also be used at the point of care to confirm diagnosis.
