Concise and brief July 12, 2007

This book provides a concise, easy to read overview of about 90% of the most common dermatologic entities that one might be likely to encounter in a general office. I like it because it has good pictures and is brief, small and portable.

I originally bought this book while in medical school to help during my quick education session in dermatology. I find that the pictures are very helpful. I have saved this book as a reference. Arrive in excellent condition and promptly from Amazon.
