Common Skin Diseases

This book is designed to help develop a GPs skill in disease recognition and treatment. For this reason it approaches the subject from a symptoms-specific rather than a disease-specific angle.

It contains approximately 60 high-quality illustrations and explanatory text. It is ideal for use as an instant reference in day-to-day clinical practice or as part of ongoing CME. It would be ideally suited for those studying for the Diploma in Practical Dermatology

Pre-publication review quotes

"I particularly like the idea of a symptom orientated approach. This is exactly how patients present"
J Buchan

"...a book written for GPs by a GP is more likely to be relevant and interesting to its proposed readers than a similar book written by a consultant with no experience of the realities of general practice."
P Bradbury

"Dermatology is a look and feel speciality. Whilst the feel element cannot be mimicked, good quality photographs should be included as a pre-requisite."
P Little
