Product Description

A Doody's Core Title ESSENTIAL PURCHASE for 2011!
"This atlas uses high quality photographs and well written, brief synopses to cover an enormous amount of information about skin diseases in one book....This atlas combines over 900 color photographs with succinct descriptions of skin diseases and systemic diseases with skin manifestations to create the most useful single reference in the field. This is the one book I would recommend to a non-dermatologist learning or practicing medicine in any field in any country. For dermatologists, as well, it is useful as a quick and easy reference guide. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service

Excellent resource,

This review is from: Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology: Sixth Edition (Paperback)
We are using this as our primary Dermatology reference for the Nurse Practitioner program. I has been very valuable in getting a handle on this notoriously difficult subject matter.Excellent explanations including morphology, epidemiology, causative agents etc. Filled with pictures of excellent quality. My only issue is that many of the conditions only have pictures of advanced or severe illness which can make recognizing the normal presentation tricky. Definitely going on my office bookshelf.

Newer is not better,
By Doc - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fitzpatrick's Color Atlas and Synopsis of Clinical Dermatology: Sixth Edition (Paperback)
The 4th edition is more concise. Though many pictures are shared the earlier edition has better pictures. I like the new edition okay but still prefer the 4th edition.

I am a nurse who recently started working at a dermatologist office and found this book to be an excellent reference guide. It is very thorough, easy to read, and has color pictures for every skin disorder imaginable.
