Learn the essential information necessary to manage patients with skin diseases in this brand-new compact handbook
Skin diseases severely impact quality of life and management of these conditions can be exceptionally challenging, particularly when first and second-line treatments have failed. The Handbook of Skin Disease Management is the first handbook specifically developed with the focus on the management aspect of dermatological conditions. It is designed to be used by busy clinicians who need relevant information quickly and includes an A-Z format with succinct entries loaded with essential information. Incorporating evidence bases and success rates for each potential treatment, it includes everything clinicians need to rapidly familiarize themselves with the different treatment options.

Handbook of Skin Disease Management is a vital reference for clinicians working with dermatological patients, particularly trainees and junior doctors.
