Dermatology Made Easy 2e has been comprehensively updated but remains designed to help GPs, medical students and dermatologists diagnose skin conditions with confidence.

Diagnosis is simplified by providing a comprehensive set of tables which offer differentials by symptom, morphology, or body site ? including over 500 thumbnail photos.

Once you have narrowed down the diagnosis, cross-references guide you to more detailed descriptions, and another 700 photographs, covering:

• common infections


• inflammatory rashes


• non-inflammatory conditions


• skin lesions

Every section provides consistent information on the disorder:

• who gets it and what causes it?


• what are the clinical features and does it cause any complications?


• how do you diagnose it?


• how do you treat it and how long does it take to resolve?

The book concludes with a comprehensive section on further investigations and treatment options.



Dermatology Made Easy is the ideal rapid clinical reference ? guiding diagnosis, advising on clinical features and offering the best treatment options.



Printed in full colour throughout.

Excellent resource

?Great resource with pictures. I?m an ANP & this is useful for skin conditions when the patients are in the room or even when they?ve left to look up suitable terminology for writing notes. I work in a non teaching practice so I sometimes have to ?google? my way through consultations. This book really helps.' Amazon reviewer
