Full Description
Through thirteen superb editions, Andrews' Diseases of the Skin has remained the reference of choice for core information in dermatology for residency through clinical practice. The fully revised 14th Edition of this award-winning title continues the tradition of excellence with new tools and strategies for diagnosis and treatment, new entities and newly recognized diseases, increased coverage of skin of color, new videos, and more. It's the reference you'll turn to again and again when faced with a clinical conundrum or therapeutically challenging skin disease.
