These units use an unsurpassed collection of colour clinical photographs of all major dermatological conditions, concise yet comprehensive text and Key Point boxes to aid quick access to information and examination preparation. They incorporate summaries of the essential skin biology and associated basic sciences that underpin clinical practice, as well as advice on established and emerging dermatological treatments. Guidance is also given to dermatological emergencies, and to the most useful online resources for updates and further reference.

The publication is divided into 3 sections and is comprised of 67 succinct chapters. The first section introduces basic dermatologic principles, including microanatomy, physiology, and basic dermatologic terminology and physical examination taking. The second section comprises the bulk of the publication and is arranged by disease entity with each treated as an educational unit for rapid accessibility. Clinical images and illustrations are excellent and of high quality. The final section describes various special topics in dermatology, including chapters on procedural dermatology, pediatric dermatology, and unique demographics in dermatology, such as pregnancy, geriatric, and skin of color. The online resources include the complete text and review flashcards and chapter self-assessments. The interface is easy to navigate and the learning resources supplement the text well.
This text is not intended to be all-inclusive, but instead functions as an accessible reference to introductory dermatology. The authors succeed in this aspect. In an increasingly technological age, supplementation with online content makes the use of this text and its resources more valuable. While the book is non-comprehensive, it serves as a good reference for medical students, nurses, general practitioners, and early dermatology trainees.
