Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology
Oxford: Radcliffe Medical Press, 1995. Differential Diagnosis in Dermatology, Second Edition, by Richard Ashton and Barbara Leppard, is a clinical reference designed to teach practicing physicians and dermatology trainees a systematic, visual approach to diagnosing skin conditions. Rather than organizing by disease name, the book is structured by anatomical region and clinical presentation — hairy scalp, erythematous versus non-erythematous lesions, flexural rashes, lower leg conditions, hands and feet, oral and genital presentations, and nail disorders — walking the reader through how to describe what they're seeing (site, color, chronicity, surface texture, and lesion type) before narrowing toward a differential diagnosis. This structured, algorithm-based approach, reinforced by an included Index of Algorithms, made it a widely used teaching and quick-reference tool in clinical dermatology settings through the 1990s.
