Obstetric and Gynecologic Dermatology

Correct diagnosis in dermatology depends largely on the identification and interpretation of clinical signs. OBSTETRIC AND GYNECOLOGIC DERMATOLOGY contains over 400 color illustrations and provides an essential pictorial guide to both common and uncommon skin disorders encountered in pregnancy and general gynecology. The text is comprehensively updated throughout, and now includes more summary information and tables giving implications for the pregnant patient, as well as additional basic dermatologic information, such as general introductions to treatment and rashes, to help make the book accessible for the non-dermatologist reader.
