Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0865428352 | ISBN-13: 978-0865428355 | Edition: 1

This book is an illustrated guide to skin diseases seen in the early years of a person's life. Although its emphasis is on childhood disorders, the book covers those disorders arising in childhood and early adolescence (up to the mid-teens). The text mainly discusses the most common cutaneous problems, but rarer congenital syndromes are also included, as well as a chapter about psychological issues, which is of particular importance in this age group. Every condition discussed is illustrated in colour, with emphasis on the clinical features, key physical signs and possible differential diagnosis. Advice is given on the management of each disorder and a glossary of common dermatological treatments appears at the end.
