About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This is an excellent book on how to manage difficult-to-control skin diseases in the pediatric population. … The audience is dermatologists, but pediatricians would benefit from reading this book as well. … I highly recommend this book. It contains practical, valuable clinical information on managing skin diseases that do not respond to the usual approaches.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)Editors and Affiliations
