1. I am a busy FP doc at a military base and I see a considerable amount of dermatologic complaints. I try to take care of most of it myself (since we have no dermatologist on staff) and find this book indispensable to my daily practice. I open it practically every day. For those of you who think the ‘baby’ Habif is enough, it’s not! Trust me, I tried to scrape by with the ‘baby’ version for years before I bit the bullet and bought it. The sections on acne, eczema, dermatophytosis, and rosacea are outstanding.

2. Without a doubt, the best practical derm book out there to help you wade through the countless derm conditions that can be seen in primary care medicine. Thorough, easy to understand and great pictures. What else can you want in a derm book?

3.  I previously lauded the 3rd edition. Now I am extremely impressed by the latest edition. There are more pictures and elaborate details about diagnosis and treatment. But what I consider the best improvement are the expanded tables in each chapter. These tables detail recommended evaluations, treatments and differential diagnosis.

Because dermatology is a complex visual specialty that mixes medical and surgical approaches to management, trainees need fast access to a wide range of material. This concise new reference uses tables, algorithms, protocols, guidelines, and staging and scoring systems to present succinct guidance on best-practice patient care. Structured around three components — medical, surgical, and pharmacological — the book consolidates the core Board exam information residents most often look up. Handbook of Dermatology: A Practical Manual was road-tested as it was developed to ensure usefulness for dermatology residents, dermatologists, and family physicians

This fully revised new edition of the bestseller combines the advantages of a color atlas with those of a concise textbook, and details the essential features of all but the very rarest skin diseases. The book provides the definition of each disease/disorder followed by clinical features, epidemiology, differential diagnosis, investigations and special points. Every opportunity is taken to illustrate variations in conditions that occur with age or racial group. The second edition now features treatment and management for each disease and disorder and expanded or new sections for over 40 conditions, plus 100 new clinical color photographs. A Colour Handbook of Dermatology will appeal to a wide range of reader, including dermatologists in practice and training; post-registration trainees in acute medicine; general practitioners; specialist nurses; and senior medical students.

Review

New Scientist

“Comprehensive and reasonably priced… The quality of the colour photographs is really excellent… as good as any I have seen… compact and consistent layout… makes the book very user friendly , ideal for cramming or speed reading… A really first class book for the doctor who wants to get an overview of the wider range of less common dermatological problems… a strong recommend for the entry level dermatology trainee and MRCP students, and a worthy addition to the practice library.”–Stephen Hayes, Primary Care Dermatology Society, Bulletin, 1 August 2010

“I am very impressed with this jolly good little book… At £25 for 500 high quality pictures it is excellent value for money. It was the correct decision to add more text to cover the basic treatment of the conditions that were illustrated because it now completely meets the needs of the target audience…those starting out in dermatological training, whether doctors or nurses…as well as more experienced health professionals in other disciplines, including general practice and occupational health. There is no need to buy more than one book.”–Chris Bunker, University College Hospital, London, British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 15 October 2010

“Combines high-quality pictures with easy-to-read text, thus making this book of far greater value than an atlas alone.. highly recommended to practitioners with an interest in dermatology, medical students and trainees in dermatology.”–Dermatology

“This almost pocket-sized book is a real treasure…bound to appeal to a wide range of people, including medical students, dermatologists, general physicians and general practitioners.”–Postgraduate Medical Journal

“The book is well laid-out, with detailed contents page and index…the book should stand the test of time.”–G P

Goodheart’s Same-Site Differential Diagnosis is an easy-to-use reference for primary care physicians who are often on the front line of diagnosing and treating skin disorders. Organized in a head-to-toe fashion, the book presents 400 full-color images of common skin disorders and places them side by side with their clinical look-alikes or other diagnostic possibilities that occur at the same anatomic site. Since many skin disorders tend to occur at specific sites, this organization by region is helpful in narrowing the number of diagnostic possibilities and reaching a specific diagnosis or differential diagnosis quickly and accurately.

The book presents differential diagnoses by region, along with key physical findings, laboratory tests, and historical information to help make a definitive diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is made, the management of each condition is described in step-by-step fashion on a facing page. Recommended first-line, second-line, and alternative therapies are briefly listed.
