Psoriasis is one of the most commonly encountered skin-diseases - yet its etiology is complex and approaches to diagnosis and treatment vary considerably. This illustrated atlas provides a comprehensive visual record of the different stages of the disease and the various ways in which it presents at different sites on the body.

Copiously illustrated in color, including new high quality visual imagery only recently available, the atlas highlights new treatment options such as light therapy and topical, systemic, and immunomodulatory drugs. Providing an authoritative review of psoriasis, the book is an essential reference for dermatologists, dermatopathologists, internists, and family physicians.
