About DIGM

Like its predecessors, the exciting new sixth edition of "Fitz" strikes an important balance between dermatology's scientific and clinical aspects. You get a solid foundation for understanding the biological basis for skin disease, and everything you need to accurately diagnose and treat all dermatologic conditions. You'll appreciate the logical organization of topics, and the elegantly concise descriptions provided by over 300 elite practitioners who have contributed their expertise to the sixth edition's 280 chapters.

The book is logically divided into six sections beginning with structure, development, biology and function. It then progresses to specific skin diagnosis and treatment. Therapeutic and surgical treatments are covered in detail. Essentially every problem related to the skin is addressed. The new edition will include more tabular material and more specific information regarding dosages, more information related to laser surgery, cosmetic dermatology and pediatrics.
