Psoriasis is the most commonly encountered skin condition by clinicians in the United States and around the world. This succinct handbook discusses the topical, oral, biologic, and intravenous medications and phototherapies for the treatment of psoriasis as well as the initial diagnosis and assessment of the condition. This handbook also features a color photo section with commonly encountered variations of the disease, including scalp, nail, and plaque psoriasis. In addition, a chapter has been included in the handbook to help nonspecialists decide when a patient with psoriasis should be referred to a dermatologist. 100 pages with full-color insert.
