Full Description
As all dermatologists are aware, warts are a very common problem and often difficult to treat. They have also generated a large number of competing therapies, which often makes it even harder for a practising physician to decide on the best course of action. This book presents a guide to diagnosis and the evidence-based approach to management and is an invaluable resource in any clinic of office managing skin disorders.
