A comprehensive, clinical text that covers the dermatologic aspects of anogenital disease in both men and women. Some 180 clinical color illustrations are combined with a text based both on the authors' extensive clinical experience and a comprehensive review of the relevant English-language literature. The problem-oriented diagnostic format is based on clinical description, allowing for rapid and accurate identification even of unfamiliar diseases. Sufficient dermatologic information is included regarding diagnostic techniques and basic therapy to make the text usable by those who have not been trained in dermatology. Annotation c.
