Key issues such as common usage, potential combinations, pitfalls, cautions and top tips are provided by a global team of dermatology experts.Chapters follow a standardised layout for each treatment, making it easy for the reader to get to the information they need: licensed indications, common usage, combinations, pragmatic recommendations, pitfalls, cautions (red flags) and top tips.
