  • Illustrated Synopsis of Dermatology & Sexually Transmitted Diseases

    • 7th Edition
    • Neena Khanna
    • English
    Illustrated Synopsis of Dermatology & Sexually Transmitted Diseases has been used for almost 2 decades as the standard textbook of Dermatology by UGs. The book through its previous 6 editions has helped the students prepare for their PG entrance exams, with several coaching programs using its images (in a session ‘in wit’ called Neena Khanna images) to hone the student’s ‘NEET cracking skills’. But the purpose of this book really goes much beyond that—it is an endeavor to create in the UGs an interest in this extremely versatile subject and clinically make them ‘dermatology literate’. Since a third of patients seen by general practitioners or a pediatrician have skin issues, physicians with a basic knowledge of Dermatology will be able to guide their patients better, without succumbing to the temptation of prescribing steroids as ‘a panacea for all skin ills’. The book has also been used as a quick reference by dermatology PGs’ in infancy of their residency and a keepsake by general physicians and pediatricians.
