Women*s Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity

Representing a unique and important initiative in the study of cutaneous medicine, Women's Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity takes you through all aspects of skin disorders as they affect women - from basic concepts and general topics to specific considerations, such as culture, menstrually-related conditions, and drug abuse. It is an authoritative clinical reference that describes both normal and pathologic skin of the female patient throughout the natural course of life.

The editors have invited renowned contributors from around the world to develop chapters in their areas of expertise, written specifically from the point of view of gender variations. The result is an all-encompassing volume comprised of 52 chapters and over 300 full-color photographs. Women's Dermatology: From Infancy to Maturity is an invaluable clinical reference for all dermatologists, pediatricians specializing in cutaneous medicine, and all physicians concerned with the optimal care of their female patients.

"Overall, excellent, authoritative book should be of great importance, not only to dermatologists, but also to gynecologists. It is both instructive and enjoyable to read. I have no doubt that [the book] will soon become a leading tool in enabling gynecologists to become more perceptive about the skin condition of their patients." - Organon's Magazine for Women and Health "If you want straightforward descriptions of dermatological conditions a standard text will suffice. But, if you want a bit more insight into the special problems of women, to be entertained and to learn a little more of the history of beauty you will not be disappointed." - S.M. Cooper, Department of Dermatology, Oxford Radcliffe Hospital, Headington, Oxford, UK, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, October 2001
