Preface

This handbook presents the combined work of many prominent dermatologists from throughout Europe, based on their profound knowledge and clinical experience in various fields of dermatology. The purpose of this manual is to provide an easy to use guide that describes not only the many dermatological diseases diagnosed today, but also the analogous drugs and methods of treatment available. Hence, as indicated in the title, dermatologists and non-dermatologists will find its contents to be most useful and concise.

The manual is divided into three main sections: Diseases, Methods, and Drugs. The first part of the handbook defines each disease with brief information on its etiology and pathophysiology. This is followed by a short account of diagnostic procedures and an extensive discussion of treatment and therapy. The authors have not only presented classic and modern approaches to treatment, but also provided their personal recommendations on the bases of their expertise. The middle

section describes up-to-date methods and the possible use of therapeutic equipment for diagnosis and treatment. The final section provides an alternative approach, indicating where medication and drugs could be an appropriate choice in the treatment of dermatological diseases.

This second edition of the European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments has been minimally revised and retains the exact form of the previous publication.

The response received from the initial publication was enthusiastic and the book was widely accepted. It has been a great pleasure to provide this handbook to fellow colleagues and new dermatologists in the continuing endeavour to treat dermatological and cutaneous diseases.

We wish to express our gratitude to all the distinguished colleagues who contributed towards this venture.
