Cosmetic Dermatology: Principles and Practice
Leslie S. Baumann

New

This book is a must have for the dermatology resident, and practicing dermatologist. Some creative and practical tips from the experts, useful tables, and hard to find discussions about technique. Practical, useful, and highly recommended!

Wonderful review of cosmetic derm, reviewing both the basic science and the actual data behind a wide variety of procedures.

Outstanding book, includes a great number of color photographs with well written text. Well organized. Practical and useful as both an instruction manual and reference.

A nice collection of cosmetic techniques are discussed and illustrated here. Both residents and those in practice will pick up a few pearls. The book would have been well served by a DVD that demonstrated each technique - and that more time spent in discussion of practical details and specifics.

1. Fitzpatrick's Dermatology -- This is the classic standard text of dermatology. Text is well referenced, and has great information. Difficult to read cover to cover, but great detail and depth. A classic.

2. Dermatology, by Jean Bolognia and Dermatology E-Text -- Perhaps the new standard Dermatology Text. Easier to read than Fitzpatrick, with great photos, tables, figures, and charts. The E-Text allows you to access the complete version on-line, which should never become outdated as updates are added to the E-Text version regularly. My favorite reference book.

3. Rook's Textbook of Dermatology -- A new addition of an outstanding text. 4 volumes and 32 pounds of helpful, and well written content. A must for every resident and every office.

4. Andrews' Diseases of the Skin -- A great textbook, especially for residents who would like to read a text cover to cover. Easy to get through, and filled with clinical pearls. Not as well organized as Bolognia, but much more manageable to read front to back.

5. Textbook of Neonatal Dermatology -- This is my favorite pediatric text. Useful tables and charts, great book for residents to read (both Derm and Pediatric residents), and attending to review. Loaded with useful info. If reading cover to cover - you will find some redundancy in chapters. Overall though, very well written book.

6. Fisher's Contact Dermatitis -- This is the bible of contact dermatitis. Great text, and useful handouts for patients. A must have for the dermatologist who is a detective!

7. Comprehensive Dermatologic Drug Therapy -- Very useful book, reviews topicals and PO medications used in the field. A must read for all!

8. Treatment of Skin Disease -- Great book for reviewing treatments, especially when looking for alternatives. Divided into 1st, 2nd, and 3rd line treatments, with an evidence key for each. Recommended to purchase the book plus the version for palm pilot - which becomes a useful tool in the office.

9. Genodermatoses -- An AMAZING book for dermatologists, and pediatricians. Especially useful for board prep review. Each genodermatosis has an accompanying cartoon with all of the key features highlighted. A gem!

10. Interested in compounding medications??? A lost art or a gem to be treasured? Two books of note in the field are: The Art, Science, and Technology of Pharmaceutical Compounding by Loyd V. Allen & Allen's Compounded Formulations : The Complete U.S. Pharmacist Collection by Loyd V. Allen

1. Skin Pathology by Weedon -- My favorite dermatopathology text. Outstanding color photos, well-written text, and priceless organization and tables. A must have

2. Lever's Histopathology of the Skin & Synopsis and Atlas of Lever's Histopathology of the Skin -- Best to have both books, as they are complementary. A classic text in the field. The atlas has great color photos, and concise descriptions. Well written, but overall I prefer Skin Pathology by Weedon.

3. Primer of Dermatopathology (Book with CD-ROM) -- A great book for dermatology residents or derm-path fellows. Removes all of the fluff and puts down the key points for each item in a differential. Very useful for review of unknowns, and for study.

1. Pocket Guide to Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery -- Very useful book when in the clinics, and when seeing patients on consults. Clinically oriented, and book that you will use.

2. Dermatology -- This is a great book to carry around for board-prep study. If you like to review a few facts here and there through the day - this is the book for you. Useful mnemonics and tables. VERY high yield.

3. Dermatologic Syndromes Card Deck -- If you prefer to study for the boards with flash cards... but don't have the time to make them, this is for you. For the time it would take to make these... it is silly not to buy them. Great to carry a few cards with you during the day for review on down-time.

4. Pocket Guide to Medications Used in Dermatology -- Good pocket summary of medications used in dermatology, indexed both by name and by manufacturer. Includes many ingredients in OTC products that are very useful.

5. Drug Eruptions and Interactions for the Palm OS, Second Edition by Jerome Z. Litt -- A very useful reference for the palm. Allows multi-drug checking for a suspected type of drug reaction. Quite useful when seeing in-patient consults and in the office. The most recent edition can be purchased here: http://www.drugeruptiondata.com/
