Proving again that a picture is worth a thousand words, Atlas of Women's Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity is an encyclopedia in pictorial format. The book illustrates diseases and conditions that demonstrate the very different morphology between the sexes. It includes clinical entities that help complete a section or because the lack of gender difference makes the clinical presentation significant. The chapters are organized by anatomical topography, and each includes 10-15 color photographs with concise captions, and a reference list. The second section is based on physiologic changes found from infancy to maturity, and a third section covers cosmetic procedures and camouflage methods.
