Reviews

“The purpose is to provide the latest information on managing psoriasis. The authors accomplish this goal. The audience is dermatologists. … This is the most up‐to‐date reference on treatments related to the immune dysregulation and unchecked inflammatory cytokines driving psoriasis. I highly recommend it if you treat psoriatic patients in your practice.” (Patricia Wong, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2016)
