内容简介：

Darkening patches on the skin can result in great distress for the patient. However, definitive diagnosis between the many possible causes and effective treatment can be very hard for the medical practitioner to achieve. This is the first major professional reference with systematic coverage of diagnosis and the various treatment options, and it will be an indispensable clinical reference.

Key Features

  • covers differential diagnosis between different types of hyperpigmentation
  • includes material on age spots (solar lentigines)
  • covers all treatment options, both medical and surgical
  • colour illustration throughout
