Book is based on a series of lectures which have been given to postgraduates studying for the Paediatric Membership examination. It is not intended to be a comprehensive textbook but, as the title suggests, a "handbook" - a concise and systematically organized presentation of all the common and many of the more rare skin disorders of children and adolescents. It is hoped that its format, with lists of differential diagnoses, tables, references and further reading and numerous colour illustrations, will make it a useful aid to revision for candidates taking higher examinations in paediatrics. It is also intended to provide physicians with practical clinical advice, which they can use easily as an aid to diagnosis and management.
