A Pocketbook of Hair and Scalp Disorders
General practitioners are often the first stop for patients with hair and scalp problems. However, most GPs have little if any knowledge and training in this field.
A Pocketbook of Hair and Scalp Disorders is a clear, well-written text for quick reference, providing a guide to diagnosis and suggestions for the best current treatments available. The book offers information about the physiology of hair and hair defects, advice on conducting an examination, hair loss, and cosmetic damage. The author describes dermatological disorders of the scalp and their management. It is highly visual, containing many photographs and micrographs to aid the non-specialist in diagnosis.
This book is designed for primary-care practice, but will also be useful to junior dermatologists and other doctors working in this area.
