This resource serves as a practical guide designed to assist healthcare professionals in the identification, recognition, treatment, and management of common dermatological conditions encountered in primary care settings, walk-in clinics, emergency departments, and hospital admissions related to medical or surgical conditions.

ABC of Dermatology offers a concise overview of fundamental dermatological principles, tailored specifically for non-dermatologists. It is particularly beneficial for practitioners in primary care and provides an accessible introduction for nurses and medical students entering the field.

Rather than overwhelming the reader with a systematic description of numerous skin conditions, the text focuses on a few prevalent conditions, using them as a foundation for comparison with less common dermatological diseases. Certain sections, such as systemic disease affecting the skin, cutaneous immunology, and practical procedures, employ a more didactic approach and are less suited to this comparative method. This edition incorporates updates from the sixth edition.
