The book is divided up by western medicine diagnoses of skin diseases with herbal formulas and short commentary by TCM diagnosis. The dosages and individual herbs still need some adjustment for individual patients, but the formulas that are compiled are effective in my experience. I would recommend purchasing an illustrated manual of dermatological diseases to accompany this book, as well as reading CDC/state guidelines on infectious/communicable diseases. Skin diseases that are contagious and difficult to kill are often misdiagnosed.

Good book to have as an additional source of information for dermatology cases, which has both: Herbal and acupunture/moxibustion treatment suggestions. It was my first book in dermatology in Chinese Medicine and served it's prupose, altough I still go back from time to time to compare with another, more expensive and way more thorough "Dermatology in TCM" by Xu Yihou. I put 4 stars because it is lacking more detailed explanation, compare to the other one.

The book arrived in pristene condition and on time. I practice acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine and have been looking for help with dermatologic conditions, this book more than fills the bill.
