About the book >.>.> The skin is a very large organ subject to many diseases. Most of the diseases seen in a community are of a few common types but these will differ from country to country. Many conditions are rare and are only of academic interest to the specialist. Some however although not very common are important either because they are dangerous in themselves or because they point to some important general illness. This small pocket book makes no attempt to cover the whole of dermatology but rather to illustrate pictorially some diagnostic points which have seemed important to the author in hospital practice in England. It must be realised that many common skin conditions are subtle in appearance and therefore difficult to photograph and to reproduce in print. Conversely the temptation to include uncommon or unimportant conditions which make attractive pictures has been avoided. Selection of material is therefore idiosyncratic but it is hoped that this collection will prove useful in the differential diagnosis of skin diseases which may appear superficially very similar.
