This reference serves as a primer, an atlas, a consultant, and a supplement to more in-depth dermatology texts and medical literature. Prominently featuring color photographs, it focuses on the diagnosis and management of common skin problems.
Entries for specific diseases provide basic information, describing lesions and their distribution, discussing clinical manifestations, and offering advice on differential diagnosis and management.

In-office procedures are detailed. Reproducible patient handouts (in English and Spanish) are included.
