Lookingbill and Marks' Principles of Dermatology by James G. Marks, Jr. (Professor, Department of Dermatology, Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine, Hershey Medical Center)

Helps you arrive at an accurate differential diagnosis with numerous tables that rank skin diseases according to frequency of incidence and highlight clinical features. Features new and expanded 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.

Lookingbill and Marks' Principles of Dermatology Reviews

Despite the fact that this book is aimed at neophytes in dermatology, the authors have a knack for explaining concepts in a way that nails the etiology and descriptions perfectly, which is often not the case in encyclopedic or other comparable competitors. The clarity of the writing manages to nail the message precisely and meaningfully in just one or two sentences. I am keeping it on my shelf and I have given a copy to my RN, who loves it.
