Description
A textbook for medical students and reference for general practitioners, presenting only the material they must know to diagnose and treat patients with common skin diseases without describing all the exceptions and rarities that should be referred to a specialist. Highly illustrated with color photographs. Saur himself was still on board for the 1996 seventh edition, titled Manual of Skin Diseases ; for the eighth, the dictionary/index has been completely revamped, all chapters have been updated, and some new authors recruited.

Unique features include a detailed, practical formulary ... differential diagnoses based on site, type of lesion, and age of patient ... more than 500 full-color illustrations ... and a dictionary-index of dermatology terms and rare diseases. Sauer's Manual of Skin Diseases contains a section on cosmetics by a world-renowned expert in cosmetic dermatology, and is the only current dermatology book in the United States with a section on tropical skin diseases. New contributing authors have rewritten the Eighth Edition's sections on laboratory procedures and tests, dermatologic immunology, genodermatoses, pediatric dermatology, tropical diseases, and cutaneous manifestations of internal disease.
