Customer Reviews

Informative

the book is informative, it shows pictures of different skin diseases and it also include treatment for the skin disease.

very good and practical

Although it does not cover everything but covers most common diseases. Book is in two sections, first section for the physician to diagnose the disoeder, brief etiology and some differential diagnosis followed by remedies. Author gives a lot of practical advices and things to watch for.Second part is some sort of information sheet that you may want to give the patient for their use.There are some pictures but not for each situation. Picture quality is not that great. I find the practical information and do's don't s were very good.
