The handbook of skin disease management

Abstract

At some stage in dermatology, one will find that the difficulty of managing conditions can overtake the diagnostic challenge. Whilst a plethora of studies, review articles and expert opinions are published on a daily basis, staying up-to-date with these and applying them in a practical manner, is incredibly difficult. As such, it was our intention to create a handbook with emphasis on best evidence, making as much use of clinical guidelines and systematic reviews/meta-analyses as possible, whilst remaining close to 'real world' clinical practice. Each condition is presented as succinctly as possible, occupying no more than a couple of pages. This book is intended to be used 'on the move', in clinic, on the wards, and in the lecture theatre, with dermatology trainees and junior consultants in mind, as well as GPs
