Diagnosis of Aging Skin Diseases

Written by a leading geriatric dermatologist who has published several textbooks on the subject, this is the first differential diagnostic reference for physicians and students of dermatology. A book that will be welcome to practising dermatologists everywhere, this fantastically useful new volume presents a visual encyclopedia of geriatric dermatoses that can be used by clinicians on rounds or in a reference environment. It provides a structured illustrated review of the various lesions encountered, which will make this an invaluable reference resource for all physicians dealing with older skin. It also places special emphasis on illnesses originating in other organ systems that are made manifest on the skin and often complicate the diagnostic and therapeutic picture. What's more, the book is replete with color illustrations that aid in the correct diagnosis of conditions that can be elusive even to the best-trained eye.
