Reviews

From the reviews:

“It is meant to be a handbook to help clinicians consider and narrow diagnostic probabilities when they see a skin lesion. … an excellent guide for anyone interested in learning how to identify and diagnose some of the common skin conditions. From medical students to skilled specialists, all will benefit from this book. … The authors have followed the basic principles needed for an excellent handbook … with plenty of figures and an emphasis on providing a structured approach to diagnosing a skin lesion.” (Jisna R. Paul, Doody’s Book Reviews, February, 2014)
