Ebook: Clinical Cases in Scalp Disorders (Clinical Cases in Dermatology)

This book identifies the broad scope of dermatological conditions in patients with scalp disorders. Scalp disorders can be associated with various conditions such as inflammatory, neoplastic and systemic diseases. Patient history and physical examination significantly narrow the differential diagnosis, but in doubtful cases trichoscopy or scalp biopsy is needed to establish correct diagnosis. Treatment of scalp diseases varies from topical through intralesional to systemic options, dependent from type and severity of the disease as well as coexisted conditions. Clinical cases are the key component in modern medical education, assisting the trainee or recertifying clinician to work through unusual cases using best practice techniques.

Clinical Cases in Scalp Disorders illustrates clinical features and discuss diagnostic and therapeutic process of both common and unusual conditions. It provides a practical case-based guide in the management of patients with scalp diseases and is ideal for both board-certified dermatologists and dermatologists in training.
