Synopsis

**Selected for 2026 Doody's Core Titles as an Essential Purchase in Dermatology**

Perfect for medical students, dermatology first-year residents, dermatology nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and other primary care physicians, Lookingbill & Marks’ Principles of Dermatology is a concise, abundantly illustrated, everyday reference for dermatologic diagnosis and therapy. This text is a true primer: it assumes no prior knowledge and is intuitively organized by morphology (appearance) rather than etiology (cause). A reader favorite through six outstanding editions, this updated 7th Edition follows a consistent, templated approach with key points, clinical pearls, differential diagnosis, and tables of first- and second-line treatments―making it easy to read and understand. Superb clinical photographs, full-color histopathology images, and corresponding cross-sectional line diagrams provide an easy-to-understand framework for categorizing skin conditions.

• Provides therapy options in highlighted boxes, additional photos of uncommon presentations at the end of each chapter, and algorithms showing classification of disease at the start of each chapter
• Incorporates case study multiple-choice questions into relevant chapters to reinforce learning and for easier self-assessment and review
• Includes more visual elements and a more diverse range of skin color patient images throughout
• Helps you arrive at an accurate differential diagnosis with numerous tables that rank skin diseases according to frequency of incidence and highlight clinical features
• Updates you on the latest therapies for the most common skin disorders that can be hard to treat, including acne, psoriasis, eczema, and new coverage of common drug eruptions
• Features evidence-based treatment tables to keep you up to date with fast-changing treatments in dermatology and guide you toward the best treatments for your patients
• Shares the experience and knowledge of new co-author Dr. L. Claire Hollins, who joins Drs. James G. Marks, Jr. and Jeffrey J. Miller to bring you reliable coverage of dermatology essentials
• An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
