Notice
Medical knowledge is constantly changing. Standard safety precautions must be followed, but as new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment and drug therapy may become necessary or appropriate. Readers are advised to check the most current product information provided by the manufacturer of each drug to be administered to verify the recommended dose, the method and duration of administration, and contraindications. It is the responsibility of the practitioner, relying on experience and knowledge of the patient, to determine dosages and the best treatment for each individual patient. Neither the Publisher nor the author assume any liability for any injury and/or damage to persons or property arising from this publication.

Preface and Acknowledgements
Andrews’ remains as it was from the beginning: an authored text whose one volume is filled with clinical signs, symptoms, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic pearls. The authors have remained general clinical dermatologists in an era of subspecialists in academia. They are committed to keeping Andrews’ as an excellent tool for anyone who needs help in diagnosing a patient with a clinical conundrum or treating a patient with a therapeutically challenging disease.
Andrews’ is primarily intended for the practicing dermatologist. It is meant to be used on the desktop at his or her clinic, giving consistent, concise advice on the whole gamut of clinical situations faced in the course of a busy workday. While we have been true to our commitment to a single-volume work, we provide our text in a convenient online format as well. Because of its relative brevity but complete coverage of our field, many find the text ideal for learning dermatology the first time. It has been a mainstay of the resident yearly curriculum for many programs. We are hopeful that trainees will learn clinical dermatology by studying the clinical descriptions, disease classifications, and treatment insights that define Andrews’ . We believe that students, interns, internists or other medical specialists, family practitioners, and other health professionals who desire a comprehensive dermatology textbook will find that ours meets their needs. Long-time dermatologists will hopefully discover Andrews’ to be the needed update that satisfies their lifelong learning desires. On our collective trips around the world, we have been gratified to see our international colleagues studying Andrews’ . Several thousand books have been purchased by Chinese and Brazilian dermatologists alone.
Many major changes have been made to this edition. Bill James, Tim Berger and Dirk Elston, three great friends of nearly three decades, have worked closely to continue to improve the quality of our text. The surgical chapters have been updated and expanded by Isaac Neuhaus. We thank him for his efforts to enhance the procedural portion of our textbook and acknowledge the contributions of Roy Grekin in prior editions. We have tried to ensure that each entity is only discussed once, in a complete yet concise manner. In order to do this we have had to make decisions regarding the placement of disease processes in only one site. Clearly, neutrophilic eccrine hidradenitis, for example, could be presented under drug eruptions, neutrophilic reactive conditions, infection or cancer-associated disease, or with eccrine disorders. The final decisions were a team effort and made in the interest of eliminating redundancy. This allows us to present our unified philosophy in treating patients in one dense volume.
Medical science continues to progress with break-neck speed. Our understanding of the etiology of certain conditions has now led us to recategorize well-recognized disease states and dictated the addition over 70 newly described entities. Molecular investigative techniques, technologic breakthroughs, and designer therapeutics lead the way in providing advances in our specialty. We cover the new understanding following from such innovations by discussing the mechanisms at work in genetic diseases, covering the latest in dermatopathologic staining and analysis, adding a second chapter on cosmetic surgery, and enlarging the therapeutic recommendations to include our expanded therapeutic options, such as biologic response modifiers, and biologically engineered targeted medications. We have attempted to define therapeutics in a fashion that emphasizes those interventions with the highest level of evidence, but also present less critically investigated therapeutic options. To care for our patients we need a large array of options. Not all are fully supported by formal evidence, yet are helpful to individual patients.
Extensive revisions were necessary to add this wealth of new information. We selectively discarded older concepts. By eliminating older, not currently useful information we maintain the brief but complete one-volume presentation that we and all previous authors have emphasized. Additionally, older references have been updated. The classic early works are not cited; instead we have chosen to include only new citations and let the bibliographies of the current work provide the older references as you need them. A major effort in this edition was to reillustrate the text with 567 new color images. Many have been added to the printed text; you will also find a large number only in the online version. Enjoy! We have looked to our own collections to accomplish this. These are the result of many hours of personal effort, the generosity of our patients, and a large number of residents and faculty of the programs in which we currently work or have worked in the past. Additionally, friends and colleagues from all parts of the globe have allowed us to utilize their photographs. They have given their permission for use of these wonderful educational photos to enhance your understanding of dermatology and how these diseases affect our patients. We cannot thank them enough.
All of the authors recognize the importance of our mentors, teachers, colleagues, residents, and patients in forming our collective expertise in dermatology. Dirk, Tim and Bill were all trained in military programs, and our indebtedness to this fellowship of clinicians is unbounded. The many institutions we have called home, from the East Coast of Walter Reed, to the West Coast of the University of California at San Francisco, and many in between, such as Brooke in San Antonio and the Cleveland Clinic, nurtured
