Skin Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections

This handbook is compiled for medical students engaged in learning about skin and venereal diseases and their management. It covers both common and rare but important conditions which are incorporated into the basic program on teaching dermatology and venereology at medical faculties for various medical specialties. The handbook also contains chapters about skin diseases and STDs which are common for Asia, Africa and Latin America and it can be helpful for medical students coming from these regions. We hope that it will also be of value for clinical interns and post graduate research students since the text is sufficiently detailed to be of use for those embarking on a career in dermatology and venereology. In this, second edition of Skin Diseases and Sexually Transmitted Infections the text have been updated with particular regard to advances in treatment and provided with numerous tables of salient points for ready reference. We also hope that exposure to the handbook will prompt a deeper interest in this important medical specialty
