This second edition is dedicated to our son Samuel. Without you, completing this second edition would have been so much faster and less fun.
Welcome to the second edition of The Handbook of Dermatology: A Practical Manual, a pocket guide designed for practicing dermatologists, dermatology residents, medical students, nurses, health care providers, and physicians in other fields who may be interested in dermatology.
New to second edition: We appreciate thoughtful feedback from our readers resulting in extensive revisions including the following: Part 1 sections were reorganized so that information could be found more quickly and intuitively; many sections were added including Workup Quick Reference Table, Melasma Workup and Management Algorithm, Propranolol, Contact Dermatitis, and Dermatologic Signs and Dermoscopy; all sections were updated to reflect new gene discoveries and other interval advancements. Part 2 includes updated fillers and toxins, UV and sunscreen updates, peeling agents, and a venous disease section. In Part 3, Drugs and Therapies was extensively updated.
Our first edition was created and edited by graduating residents at Washington University School of Medicine, Division of Dermatology. Our handbook started as an in‐house resident handbook. Our goal was to compile and consolidate need‐to‐know dermatologic information for daily use in both patient care and resident and fellow education. As such, it represents the indispensable pocket‐sized quick reference which we had wanted during our training and which we now use in our practices.
Currently, there are multiple in‐depth dermatology textbooks and atlases, most of which are too bulky to be carried around in the clinic. Our manual concisely presents data in outline, bullet‐point, and table formats such that information is manageable and easily retrievable. The compact design is lightweight, allowing information to be accessible in seconds during clinics, facilitating patient care. We have tried to balance space limitations with the need to cover a subject in sufficient detail.
Our manual has three main sections – medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, and pharmacology/treatment. Each section is designed to give the reader concise information for patient care. The content is up‐to‐date, comprehensive yet succinct. In addition to core material, we sought to consolidate the information which we found ourselves most often looking up, which our attendings most often quizzed us on, and which were most emphasized on the dermatology board exam. The manual consolidates the essential algorithms, protocols, guidelines, staging, and scoring systems of dermatology. Each section is designed for easy reference, with tabular and graphic information throughout. The diseases covered are those which we most often encountered in clinic, on call, during morning conferences, and on board exams.
We hope you will find this manual helpful to you in providing care to your patients. We welcome your input as this manual continues to evolve.
We thank Michael McBride for his assistance in updating Part 1 General Dermatology sections and Part 3 Drugs and Therapies.
Special thanks to Drs. David Berk and Susan Bayliss, who helped make the first edition possible; without you, this book would never have happened. Finally, we wish to thank the many people who have inspired us to write this book and supported us in our careers–our mentors, our colleagues and especially the residents and students we have had the pleasure of working with–for this book is written for you.
