A concise overview of the common dermatological conditions most likely to present in general medicine
From reviews:
"... a perfect solution to the constant struggle that dermatology diagnosis presents to primary care physicians and other providers...
This well-formatted book covers a vast array of topics ranging from common to rare skin disorders. The pictures are immensely helpful in the understanding of various skin rashes...." Fam Med 2019;51(5):451–452.
“… easy to read and informative. One cannot emphasise enough the quality and comprehensive nature of the photographic content.…
As someone who was interested in dermatology even as a medical student my only regret is that this book was not around when I was a student as it would have very adequately guided me into my beloved subspecialty.” Ulster Med J 2017;86(3):1–1.
“The introduction outlines dermatological conditions by symptom, morphology and body site, providing an excellent index prior to delving into greater detail in the following chapters. The logical approach and level of detail make this text perfect for medical students, interns/residents, primary care physicians and other specialists who wish to quickly identify differential diagnoses or refresh their knowledge of dermatological conditions.” A Lecturer in Dermatology
Dermatology Made Easy is based on the hugely popular DermNet New Zealand website and is designed to help GPs, medical students and dermatologists diagnose skin conditions with confidence.
The book starts by providing a series of comprehensive tables, complete with over 500 thumbnail photos, to aid diagnosis according to symptoms, morphology, or body site. Once you have narrowed down the diagnosis, cross-references then guide you to more detailed descriptions, and another 700 photographs, covering:
- common infections
- inflammatory rashes
- non-inflammatory conditions
- skin lesions
- who gets it and what causes it?
- what are the clinical features and does it cause any complications?
- how do you diagnose it?
- how do you treat it and how long does it take to resolve?
Dermatology Made Easy combines the essential focus of the Made Easy book series with the authority and knowledge base of DermNet New Zealand’s unparalleled resources.
Printed in full colour throughout.
Five-star Reviews:
Excellent resource "Great resource with pictures. I’m an ANP & this is useful for skin conditions when the patients are in the room or even when they’ve left to look up suitable terminology for writing notes. I work in a non teaching practice so I sometimes have to ‘google’ my way through consultations. This book really helps." Amazon reviewer
Valuable "It's a fabulous resource. I am a pharmacist and we are increasingly expected to respond to dermatology related signs and symptoms in community pharmacies as we rapidly become the first port of call for minor ailments. I use this book every day and have been able to confidently assess most skin conditions, using this well organised and easy to use book, and therefore suggest the best course of action, whether that be symptomatic treatment with a watch and wait approach or alternatively to see their GP." Amazon reviewer
Very satisfied "Very easy to find information about different skin conditions, written quite briefly and to the point with all the necessary knowledge one needs to deal with skin challenges." Amazon reviewer

Truly a tour-de-force "I am truly gobsmacked by the amount of effort that would have gone into putting a book like this together.
That the author did a remarkable job goes without saying; that she did it while doing a million other things is more or less the Amanda we have all come around to expecting; but the fact that she did this alone is what is so truly mind blowing.
I had to use it yesterday and was amazed at the logic that has gone into organising the book." Amazon reviewer
Fantastic book "Loved the website as my go to dermatology resource, and the book provides the same great info with plenty of useful pictures." Amazon reviewer
