Clinical Dermatology, Second Edition clearly and systematically reviews the 100 most common skin disorders seen in a general dermatology clinic. This comprehensive resource is concise enough that it can be read cover to cover during a clerkship or during the first weeks of a residency. Step-by-step instructions and videos walk readers through common biopsy and diagnostic procedures, and high-quality photos illustrate typical and atypical presentations of common skin diseases. Additional features include treatment algorithms, infographics, common pearls and pitfalls, diagnostic list of diseases based on the primary lesion either as a chapter or subsection, and a problemoriented section for difficult to diagnose cases.
