Abstract

It's DDx To Go! The unique format of the Dermatology DDX Deck gives you a completely portable, uniquely convenient diagnostic tool to compare potential diagnoses visually, side by side, without the need to flip back and forth between different pages. Each laminated card includes full-color images and information about a particular diagnosis, as well as cross references (DDx-refs) to other potential diagnoses. Bound at one corner and small enough to fit in a pocket, this is the perfect reference for those on the front line of dermatological diagnosis!

  • Gain reliable, practical, and efficient guidance regarding the diagnoses and treatment of 160 of the most common dermatologic disorders, along with clinical tips presented by the experts.
  • Quickly access all the information you need to make the most accurate diagnoses, educate patients in the exam room, or prepare for the board review exam.
  • Take an in-depth approach to patients with skin of color, and cover all the fundamentals of acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
