I’m an ANP & this is useful for skin conditions when the patients are in the room or even when they’ve left to look up suitable terminology for writing notes. I work in a non teaching practice so I sometimes have to ‘google’ my way through consultations. This book really helps.' Amazon reviewer Valuable ‘It's a fabulous resource. I am a pharmacist and we are increasingly expected to respond to dermatology related signs and symptoms in community pharmacies as we rapidly become the first port of call for minor ailments. I use this book every day and have been able to confidently assess most skin conditions, using this well organised and easy to use book, and therefore suggest the best course of action, whether that be symptomatic treatment with a watch and wait approach or alternatively to see their GP.' Amazon reviewer Very satisfied ‘Very easy to find information about different skin conditions, written quite briefly and to the point with all the necessary knowledge one needs to deal with skin challenges.' Amazon reviewer This book is extremely useful and concise especially regarding Dermatological diagnosis ‘This is a superb book. I have used the website DermNet New Zealand for a long time now. This book is extremely useful and concise especially regarding Dermatological diagnosis.' Amazon reviewer Fantastic ‘Highly recommended for any ANP/ENPs out there.' Amazon reviewer Excellent & easy to use text book ‘Essential reading for any health care professional interested in dermatology. An excellent and easy to use resource.' Amazon reviewer Truly a tour-de-force ‘I am truly gobsmacked by the amount of effort that would have gone into putting a book like this together. That the author did a remarkable job goes without saying; that she did it while doing a million other things is more or less the Amanda we have all come around to expecting; but the fact that she did this alone is what is so truly mind blowing. I had to use it yesterday and was amazed at the logic that has gone into organising the book.' Amazon reviewer Fantastic book ‘Loved the website as my go to dermatology resource, and the book provides the same great info with plenty of useful pictures.' Amazon reviewer Good text book ‘Very good book with lots of pictures of various skin conditions. Also it is considerably cheaper than most dermatology books.' Amazon reviewer Good read for the subject ‘Very clear explanations.' Amazon reviewer Simple as the name says ‘Good book from the founder of DermnetNZ, Professor Amanda Oakley. The layout is simple and pictures are very good. Good value for money.' Amazon reviewer Five Stars ‘like the website - knowledgable /easy learning and full of good photos.' Amazon reviewer Five Stars ‘love this book. Great illustrations.' Amazon reviewer Lovely and useful ‘Great book.' Amazon reviewer Imagine needing to use DermNetNZ & having no WiFi. Now you know why this book is a must. ‘A fantastic resource. I’m currently in a post where lots of Derm issues pop up daily, leaving me feeling very rusty as I reach back into the vault of medical school memories! It’s well written, the pics are great (including some of people of colour - which is something that is often lacking in Dermatology teaching!) and the reference setup with the ability to search via site, characteristics or context is invaluable. A highly recommended purchase and a resource I know I’m going to come back to again and again no matter the job role or grade.' Amazon reviewer fabulous book ‘Very useful book, managed to identify a wound infection that had been hard to pin point, the pictures are extremely helpful, would recommend to anyone in healthcare.' Amazon reviewer VAluable ‘It's a fabulous resource. I am a pharmacist and we are increasingly expected to respond to dermatology related signs and symptoms in community pharmacies as we rapidly become the first port of call for minor ailments. I use this book every day and have been able to confidently assess most skin conditions, using this well organised and easy to use book, and therefore suggest the best course of action, whether that be symptomatic treatment with a watch and wait approach or alternatively to see their GP.'

Sunday Times- 'A seriously entertaining book.' Melanie Reid, The Times- As read on RADIO 4's BOOK OF THE WEEK_______________How does our diet affect our skin? What makes the skin age? And why can't we tickle ourselves? Providing a cover for our delicate and intricate bodies, the skin is our largest, fastest growing and yet least understood organ. We see it, touch it and live in it every day. It's a habitat for a mesmerizingly complex world of micro-organisms and physical functions that are vital to our health and our survival. It's also one of the first things people see about us and is crucial to our sense of identity. Our skin plays a central role in our lives. And yet how much do we really know about it? Through the lenses of science, sociology and history, Dr Monty Lyman leads us on a journey across our most underrated and unexplored organ. Examining our microbiome, our love of tattoos and whether or not beauty products really work, he reveals how the skin is far stranger and more complex than you've ever imagined.Trade ReviewThis microsopic look at skin is crawling with revelations, from tiny mites to cellulite and skin care... An exciting introduction to a little-known universe and to a talented new writer. * Sunday Times *A seriously entertaining book... Here are things you wish you'd known about the skin years ago... Clever, optimistic. * The Times *Lyman peels back the science on human skin in this absorbing, fact-packed study. * Nature *Beautifully written, revealing and surprising, this is a fascinating guide to the secret life of the skin. * Daily Mail *An unexpectedly great adventure. * Sunday Times *Imaginatively told... knowledgeable and enthusiastic. * The Spectator *Not since GCSE Biology has my reading material been so scientific. As I approach my late twenties, I've increased my skincare routine tenfold, and now I'm taking it up a notch by learning how our largest organ actually works.The Remarkable Life of the Skin will make you scratch, squirm, inspect and neglect, but what a read it is. If those aforementioned textbooks had been written by the highly entertaining Dr Monty Lyman, I might have paid more attention. Plus, no other Tube read has ever garnered so many double-takes. * Vogue *Fascinating ... takes us beneath the surface of our largest and least-known organ. * Daily Express *This book's a gem. * Irish Examiner *An extraordinary insight into the fascinating world of the skin, explaining how it both protects and connects us... [the book] delves into the science behind the skin’s microbiome and explores the history of anti-aging treatments.

Book SynopsisThe appearance of our skin and hair has a huge impact on our psychological wellbeing and confidence. Women feel pressure to have glowing, blemish-free skin, and thick, luscious hair at all times - in reality, our skin is a dynamic living organ which reacts to hormonal changes across the lifecycle, from puberty to the menopause. When our skin does not look healthy, and when our hair is thin or falling out, we want to understand why, and what we can do about it. We can spend large amounts on different creams and beauty products, or cover the problem with makeup, but ultimately the question most asked by women, and unanswered by skincare regimes, is 'could this be hormonal?' The answer is, of course, 'yes' - and if you read this book, you'll know exactly how and why. By giving you a better understanding of the relationship between your hormones, and common skin and hair problems, Dr Mandy Leonhardt will help you find lasting solutions wha

Book SynopsisOur skin is the visible barrier between what is inside and outside of our bodies. It can respond with sensitivity to tender contact, allowing us to experience pleasure, or, should harmful influences come to bear, it can contract or erupt, causing pain. The increasing prevalence in recent years of various types of skin conditions is an indication of the fact that toxic influences are on the increase.The dermatologist, allergist and physician Lueder Jachens offers wise advice in this helpful and expertly written handbook. His concern is not just to offer understanding of the individual conditions, their causes and how best to treat them, but to give a holistic comprehension of the skin itself - this largest of the human organs - to better enable us to develop health and harmony in the longer term. Jachens' authoritative guide begins with an anatomy of the skin and its relationship to the physical and spiritual levels of existence, and goes on to study various specific conditions and their treatment, including psoriasis, dermatitis, acne, boils, hayfever, alopecia (hair loss), melanoma, abscesses, impetigo, fungal infections, herpes, scabies, head lice, sunburn, and much more.

Book SynopsisThis easy-to-read title provides a comprehensive discussion of the major changes in daily life that have led to states of increased bodily inflammation. Indeed, today there is an epidemic of allergic and autoimmune disease in the first and developing world. While outdoor climate change is now considered common knowledge, the impact of longer work hours, artificial lighting, increased food shelf life, and changes to the microbiome all have made a large impact in increasing allergies worldwide. An allergy, best defined as a “damaging response from the Immune system due to a substance in the environment,” starts with warning signals, or generalized "symptoms," that are caused by something in the environment. Itching, aches, pains, swelling, coughing, and fatigue are all immune responses. Written in an engaging -- and often humorous -- style by an allergist/immunologist, the first three chapters outline how the human body is in an unquestionably harmful environment, and that, in general, the immune system is just doing its job. In subsequent chapters, the specific topics contributing to allergies are covered in detail, starting with microorganisms and a focus on indoor living. Dust mites, for example, are addressed in one full chapter -- and for good reason. The past few decades have seen an explosion of climate controlled, humidified indoor airspace that is ideally suited for more mass production of mites.In the end, emphasizes the author, all roads of inflammation from the environment lead to the “mast cell compartment.” The stress responses of the body summarily drive up this compartment and have led to a world-wide prevalence of between 14% to 17% of “mast cell activation syndrome.” While genetics and comorbid conditions are important in any symptom or disease process, the mast cell compartment feeds and grows off all the major environmental changes of the past 50 or so years. This is why the human body in the 21st century is in a low level state of “rejection,” of the world, says the author. Most of these changes are irreversible, but the situation is not hopeless. Understanding how the body changes itself in response to its environment will allow controlled desensitization to the environment. Allergic to Life: How the Human Body Rejects the Modern World serves as a concise and lively text for clinicians and general readers interested in a deep, expert dive into the world of allergy and immunology.
