Perfect for medical students, dermatology first-year residents, dermatology nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other primary care physicians, Lookingbill & Marks’ Principles of Dermatology is a concise, abundantly illustrated, everyday reference for dermatologic diagnosis and therapy. This text is a true primer: it assumes no prior knowledge and is intuitively organized by morphology (appearance) rather than etiology (cause). A reader favorite through six outstanding editions, this updated 7th Edition follows a consistent, templated approach with key points, clinical pearls, differential diagnosis, and tables of first- and second-line treatments—making it easy to read and understand. Superb clinical photographs, full-color histopathology images, and corresponding cross-sectional line diagrams provide an easy-to-understand framework for categorizing skin conditions.

Book Reviews

"The purpose of this book is to teach the fundamentals of dermatology in a logical, memorable way so that non-dermatologists can generate working, reasonable diagnoses and devise appropriate treatments that are in the realm of acceptance. The audience of the book is non-dermatologists including medical students, beginning dermatology residents, and primary care physicians.... The quality of the clinical color illustrations is excellent and demonstrates what the text describes. Shaded boxes scattered throughout the book highlight key points,... [which] helps emphasize the most important take-away messages. Tables summarize treatments, and the book states recommended doses. This is a valuable reference for medical professionals seeking to dip their toes into dermatology,... the teaching format is well thought out." ©Doody's Book Review Service, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Score: 100, 5 Stars!
