Dermatology is easy! You may think it’s an endless list of diseases that all look the same but are treated in vastly different ways, but it’s not. In this lecture we’ll cut through all the confusion and show you how to deal with the dermatology cases that appear in your consulting room day in, day out. We’ll show you how to reach a diagnosis quickly and efficiently, how to communicate the plan and options to the owner, and how to recognise those rare situations when things aren’t quite as obvious as they seem. But don’t worry: mostly things are as they seem in dermatology, after all – the skin is on the outside of the patient: you can see it!
