This book will, it is hoped, fill the gap between cur rent, smaller
texts on dermatology and the standard, large reference books. It
should be helpful to those embarking on a career in dermatology and
to general practitioners and primary physicians with a special
interest in this field. In this book the emphasis is on clinical
aspects of skin diseases, and it is assumed that the reader has
some knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the skin. The
differential diagnosis of each disorder is extensively discussed
and sex predilection and age of onset are illustrated
diagrammatically. As in other branches of medicine, treatments are
now frequently changing and these are fully covered. Aetiological
factors in skin disorders are now becoming clearer and separate
sections on this subject are discussed for each disease. Prognosis
and natural history are not always adequately covered in texts on
derma tology, so these topics are set out under separate headings.
A small number of the illustrations have been loaned from
colleagues and institutions, and we gratefully acknowledge this
assistance from the following: The Wellcome Museum of Medical
Science; Photographic Department, Institute of Dermatology, St
John's Hospital; Dr Roger Clayton; Dr W. H. Jopling; and Dr P.
Rodin. We are also grateful to the staff of MTP for their
assistance in preparing this book."
