Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
This concise, easy-to-read book summarizes the current clinical evidence and basic
science relating to aging and the skin, assisting the clinician in addressing skin
problems in older dermatologic patients. Each chapter focuses on a particular area
in which new knowledge has rapidly emerged over the past 5 years, ensuring that the
book is completely up-to-date. Recent insights into aging skin from basic and translational
science are first discussed, covering the underlying genetics and the potential role
of topical agents and procedures in reversing the aging process. Evidence-based prescribing
in older patients is then explained, and the evidence relating to treatments for psoriasis,
reviewed. Further chapters in Geriatric Dermatology address non-surgical treatment
options for basal cell carcinoma, the increase in and management of sexually transmitted
diseases in older dermatology patients, and cutaneous signs of elder mistreatment.
Case vignettes and informative illustrations assist the reader in quickly grasping
the connection between an age-related process and its clinical impact. Geriatric Dermatology
is written for dermatologists, research scientists with translational interest, geriatricians,
and gerontologists
