The manifestations of dermatologic disease in the geriatric population are often subtly different to those in the younger age groups and there is a need toproduce a practical and clinical reference for dermatology fellows and residents, geriatricians and related clincians to identify dermatoses and their differential diagnosis specific to the aging population. Diagnosis of Aging Skin Diseases will provide the clinician with a visual encyclopedia of geriatric dermatoses that can be used on rounds or in a reference environment. It also provides a structured review of the differential diagnosis of the lesions illustrated within the book, which will make this a priceless reference resource for all physicians dealing with older skin. First differential diagnostic referencefor physicians and students of dermatology.
