Summary

This is an introduction to dermatology that assumes a general understanding of medicine, but no specialist knowledge. The book provides the essential core of knowledge to which more detailed information can be added. It can be used for reference by general practitioners and doctors in other specialties. The discussion of common conditions before introducing more complex diseases makes it very suitable for teaching medical and nursing students.
