Product Description
From the Back Cover
Dermoscopic Diagnosis – at a Glance Dermoscopy has been proven to improve diagnostic accuracy of dermatologic lesions. This practical textbook – based on a road–tested training program in dermoscopy – introduces you to the basics of dermoscopy. Easy–to–view icons show the dermoscopic features of lesions. These are compared over handy two–page spreads with actual dermoscopic and clinical images to show the lesion in practice. The identification of global and local features of skin lesions through the dermoscope will help you incorporate dermoscopy into your everyday practice. The simple but effective visual approach to pattern recognition will enable you to teach yourself and your colleagues the power of dermoscopy. Covering melanocytic lesions, melanomas, non–melanocytic lesions, special sites , and general dermatological lesions, Diagnostic Dermoscopy gives you: · A guide to choosing and using the dermoscope most suited to your needs · An introduction to the dermoscopic alphabet · A visual guide to the global features of dermatologic disease through the dermoscope · A more detailed look at the local structure of skin lesions for more accurate diagnosis This proven approach to learning the language and skills of dermoscopy will enable you, as a dermatologist, plastic surgeon, family practitioner or dermatologic nurse, to improve your diagnostic accuracy and clinical efficiency.

Recently attended the PCDS 'introduction to dermoscopy' where Bowling [author] was one of the main speakers. He gave an inspiring talk expressing the problems with scoring systems, and his preferred approach into developing an understanding of key features you should be looking for (often the basis of scoring systems which he does list in the book) and when certain patterns are seen or not seen so that you know when to refer. This approach is great for primary care (GPs).
This book is mainly images with just a little bit of text, introducing you to the language of dermoscopy, and as such this book complements his talk, and reinforces his teaching and approach. Could there be more text explanation - probably, but as the title suggests this is all about the diagnosis rather than a text-book on skin lesions.
I purchased in kindle format, this was in full colour and has very good images. I loved the icons used throughout the book - summarises key patterns features of lesions very well.
The only downside is at times the layout in kindle format can be confusing, the nice two page spread used in the paper version is lost, with kindles use of sections. Often the page/section break occurs after the label so the image is on the next page, and it's not always easy to see if the text label applies to the picture above or below the label. (label is always first then picture, just need to remember that.)
I like Bowlings approach and thoroughly recommend this book for newcomers to dermoscopy in primary care. (especially if you have heard Bowling speak).

I've had the pleasure of meeting Dr Bowling on a couple of occasions, and he is a real gentleman. His book is an absolute masterpiece. Never was the saying "a picture tells a thousand words" more true than in this instance.

I have learned a huge amount over the last half decade from the teaching of Jonathan Bowling and was delighted to get my hands on his long awaited book. Dr Bowling is the acknowledged top UK expert on dermoscopy and has done much more than anyone else in Britain to popularise and teach this invaluable technique, first by the London meetings he arranged with international experts Giuseppe Argenziano and Peter Soyer and then by his own lecturing with the PCDS and others. The dermoscopy sceptics are being won over by the growing evidence plus hands on experience and this useful addition to the literature will be of great value particulary to beginners.
As well as a comprehensive and practical look at the range of skin lesions, the author also looks at some rashes and hair conditions where the 'scope can help.
Only four stars as the images aren't as big, crisp and bright as in the Johr, Soyer, Argenziano et al book 'Dermoscopy the Essentials', but that's no reason not to own both books. There is advantage for beginners and improvers in dermoscopy in learning from many teachers, due to the inevitably subjective element in dermoscopy. No two lesions are exactly alike and as another reviewer wrote, one needs to see many examples. The blogs (notably Dr Eric Erhsam's excellent dermoscopic blogspot) and free on line resources like the International Dermoscopy Society, dermnetnz, and YouTube can greatly assist, but there is nothing like having a book to keep going back to, and this is a good and affordable one.
Declaration of interest: I know Dr Bowling (although I have not discussed this review with him!) am a trustee of the PCDS, have my own dermoscopy blog and teach dermoscopy for reward.
