European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments

This easy to read handbook aims to be a true companion to every dermato-venerologist. It offers at a glance up-to-date information on the diagnosis, the differential diagnosis and the treatment of all common skin diseases. In the first section of the book each chapter is divided in two separate parts. The first part defines the type of skin, refers briefly to the aetiology and pathogenesis, and offers the physician the clues for the diagnosis and the differential diagnosis. The second part deals with the treatment in a detailed manner, discusses alternative methods and presents references at the end of each chapter. The second section of the book focuses on procedures and techniques important for the treatment of the patient and the usage of various types of dermatological medication.
