Skin Disease - 5th Edition by James G H Dinulos & M Shane Chapman & Andrew E Werchniak & Dorothea T Barton & Mary Wu Chang (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Written specifically for the nonspecialist, Skin Disease, 5th Edition, offers precisely the diagnostic and treatment information you need to quickly identify the 250 skin disorders you're most likely to see. Concise and user-friendly, it's an ideal resource for any medical practitioner who'd rather treat than refer patients with skin disease, as well as an excellent review for board preparation. An expert author team, led by Dr Dinulos, carries on the tradition of excellence established by Dr. Thomas Habif to bring you a practical reference known for its high-quality images and easy-to-follow text.
