Product Description
Dermatology is a field for which traditional Chinese medicine is rightly respected. Proficiency in this field, however, requires specialized knowledge that is neither taught at most schools in the West, nor readily accessible to English- speaking practitioners. Manual of Dermatology in Chinese Medicine provides the practitioner with the information needed to properly treat skin diseases. Introductory chapters discuss the history of dermatology in traditional Chinese medicine, as well as aspects of diagnostics, differentiation and treatment that are peculiar to this field. The remaining 17 chapters provide detailed discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of specific skin conditions, including those most commonly seen in the clinic. Skin diseases are organized by biomedical categories, which will enable practitioners to easily reference available color atlases of dermatology to aid in diagnosis. The focus of this book is on treatment, especially herbal, but also acupuncture. Among its features is a comparision of the advantages and disadvantages of TCM and biomedical treatments for each of the conditions described. ... Read more

Written for those with Western and Eastern Medical Background
The book is divided up by western medicine diagnoses of skin diseases with herbal formulas and short commentary by TCM diagnosis.The dosages and individual herbs still need some adjustment for individual patients, but the formulas that are compiled are effective in my experience.I would recommend purchasing an illustrated manual of dermatological diseases to accompany this book, as well as reading CDC/state guidelines on infectious/communicable diseases. Skin diseases that are contagious and difficult to kill are often misdiagnosed. ... Read more

Blueprints Dermatology Review
This is a great book for a Derm rotation (or any rotation for that matter).It conveniently fits in your coat pocket and has concise and relevant information.Most importantly, it has fantastic pictures to help you identify what you may confront in practice.

Dr.Azeem Alam Khan,Consultant Dermatologist,Dammam KSA
It's a cute,small,precise dermatology book I have ever seen.It's front cover is really beautiful.Author has prcisely discussed most of the dermatological disorders.All the photographs are clear and bright.
It is a very practical book,easy to understand and easy to read! I recommend this book to all undergraduates and students preparing for USMLE Step I & II and to all the dermatologists and health practitioners.

High price, low yield
I bought this book for my derm rotations, and I can't say the relatively high price is justified.It represents your typical blueprints book...very general info, nothing specific, leaves you wanting more.It fits in your coat pocket, but I can go days without pulling it out to use it.Some of the pictures are good, but there aren't nearly enough, with the vast majority of the conditions going pictureless.

My advice is to pay a little more and purchase the baby Fitzpatrick's color atlas & synopsis of dermatology.It packs a greater punch, has as much (or more) information and way more conditions. ... Read more

one more time, poor video
I'm realy disappointed one more time as this is my second book I buy from this series, one more home made videos added to the book ,I think that the author is adding this videos just to increase the price of book not to enrich the materials of the book.
and the irony is that the technique provided in the video is from a German method that is not applied here in the States

Very helpful reference
As with other books in the Cosmetic Dermatology Series I was very pleased with this production. The included video was very instructive but not all body areas are seen. As a beginning liposuction GYN surgeon I found the sections on equipment and anesthesia very accurate and helpful. I use it as reference everytime I do a particular case i.e. neck or abdomen. Would recommend to all surgeons starting liposuction surgery.

Hard to review
This product was sent with a defective DVD. Its takes up to 6 weeks to get the item in the first place and another 6 weeks to get the replacement. I still have not received the replacement. Therefore I cannot review it. For such an expensive item, it would help to get better customer service with better replacement policies. ... Read more

extremely high quality images!
many images, minimal text.from a dermatology resident's perspective, useful to leaf through before the boards, but probably not worth investing in for your library.

Very good pictures and examples
This is a beautiful textbook full with colored photographs. There is unfortunately no text to explain what the underlying illness in each case is but just the name. So it is like you scan the book to see which picture resembles most in each case get the name and go to another source to find the etiology. I wish there was a little hint in each picture to give some idea.
It is a good book for one to familiarize other possibilities and not rush into quick conclusions.

Great for busy clinic doc
The best thing about this book is the differential diagnosis found inside the front and back covers.Determine the type of lesion you are looking at (vessicular, papular, etc) and it gives you a good differential subdivided by age.In my mind, a must have for a busy clinic or teaching program, in addition to Hurwitz.Weakness is somewhat superficial on treatment.
