Atopic Dermatitis and Eczematous Disorders

It is estimated that around 15% of the population suffer from atopic dermatitis or eczematous disorders at some point in their lifetime, causing a significant percentage of visits to dermatologists, primary care physicians, and allergists. Despite much current research interest, the pathophysiology of these disorders and their optimum treatment remain uncertain.

In Atopic Dermatitis & Eczematous Disorders, the authors discuss all clinical aspects and treatment of atopic dermatitis and other eczema variants, including:

• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Nummular eczema
• Stasis dermatitis
• Exfoliative erythroderma
• HIV-related dermatoses
• Ichthyosis vulgaris
• Hand dermatitis
• Immunodeficiency disorders

The book also discusses complications such as secondary infection and ophthalmic disease, as well as legal aspects. It contains almost 300 high-quality color clinical images, making it an invaluable visual reference for dermatologists in practice and training, candidates for post-registration qualifications, primary care practitioners, medical students, and allergists.
