Ideal for rapid reference, this beautifully illustrated book emphasizes atopic dermatitis, urticaria, and the other common itching diseases that cause great morbidity. Its nearly 100 full-color clinical photographs aid in better recognition and diagnosis. The book's main chapters cover the science of itching, measurement of itching and scratching and quality of life issues, patient evaluation, systemic causes, infections, infestations, bites, and stings, common dermatitis diseases (eczemas), urticarial diseases, and localized itching as well as the rarer diseases. It also includes material on truly obscure and arcane itching diagnoses. The text concludes with a chapter on treatment and an appendix on phototherapy (PUVA) protocols.
