This book is designed to help develop a GPs skill in disease recognition and treatment. For this reason it approaches the subject from a symptoms-specific rather than a disease-specific angle.
It contains approximately 60 high-quality illustrations and explanatory text. It is ideal for use as an instant reference in day-to-day clinical practice or as part of ongoing CME.

• Written by a well known figure in general practice dermatology.
• The text is concise and is supported by colour photographs.
• Primary care orientated in its approach.

An ideal companion to either Burge: Simple Skin Surgery or Lawre.
