Dermatology Books

This textbook is one of the most complete books on the diagnosis and treatment of lower extremity skin diseases. There are over 650 color illustrations of common and not-so-common skin conditions seen in clinical practice. This dermatology book should be in every physicians office and is rapidly becoming a standard for teaching lower extremity dermatitis to medical students.

I purchased this book for our 2 PA's. It has a lot of basic surgical tips and some more advanced pearls that were a good review for the experienced derm surgeon. I originally saw this book at a conference and pretty much "read" it cover-to-cover during a snack coffee break.

It is a good book for derm residents for improving their surgical skills and for tips and tricks. Very practical information that can come in handy day-to-day in the clinic.

The second edition of Amy L. Sutton's DERMATOLOGICAL DISORDERS SOURCEBOOK is filled with basic consumer guidelines and health facts for all kinds of conditions affecting not just skin but nails and hair. From birthmarks and skin injuries to hair loss and disorders, chapters provide all the basics on how to maintain healthy skin and hair and how to handle symptoms and aging effects.

I am a dermatopathologist in training, and got this book for synthesis of information. The color photographs are great, but the explanations are very brief. This book is more for someone who just wants a quick overview of a condition, rather than a detailed text.

I love it, though it is not sufficient for me in the end of my dermatology training. A very good choice for students, too.
Structure, content, and physical set-up is good, very good, I think.
This book maybe needs a second edition, regarding classification and some of the treatment options.

Fast review of several dermatoscopic lesions. Learn how to catch subtile changes in the pigmented network. A must have for any resident interested in increasing his ability to sort melanocytic lesions.

There are a lot of unusual diseases in this book. At least, unusual to the ophthalmologist. In other words, the focus seems to be on dermatologic disorders that may have ocular findings rather than ophthalmologic disorders that may have integumentary findings. That is part of what makes this book great for ophthalmologists.

The text is well written, but as it is with most books like this, the key features of a diseases are not emphasized as compared to a laundry list of findings. Also, little discussion exists on treatment. The chapter organization is good and the chapters are not overly long. The pictures, in general, are very good. However, there are a number of diseases in this "ATLAS" with no associated picture. And, the organization of the pictures is a little weird.

But, overall, I do recommend this book for ophthalmologists interested in rare diseases or "systemic disease." This book complements the kanski book on systemic disease and the one by Weingeist.

This book provides general websites for eczema sufferers and sections on more specific allergies, such as gluten and nickel. A sufferer of eczema myself, I found most of the websites listed extremely helpful with excellent suggestions to help me cope with this awful skin disease.

Every researcher should learn genetic mechanisms of all disorders. Sometimes, we are enable to find a means for help to the patients with hereditary disorders. I am a dermatologist, and I would like to make doctorate in genetic. This book may be useful for my these doctorate studies.
