The authors, academicians and practitioners from the UK and the US, cover such topics as the function and structure of the skin, diagnosis, disorders of keratinization, papulosquamous disorders such as psoriasis, dermatitis and related diseases, bullous diseases, connective tissue disorders, disorders of blood vessels and sweat glands, regional dermatology, infections, infestations, skin tumors, the skin and the psyche and drug eruptions.
