The third edition of this highly regarded text continues to provide a comprehensive resource for pediatric dermatologists. The book offers evidence-based diagnosis and treatment recommendations and covers both common and rare conditions, including emerging conditions and research, especially at the genetic level. A refreshing new text design makes the book more accessible, and new editors and contributors bring a distinctly international perspective to the work.
