Now What Do I Do?”
With this question we introduced our first and second editions of Treatment of Skin Disease. No matter what advances are made and regardless of how many editions of this textbook are written, dermatologists will always focus on that question. Since the last edition, there have been major innovations in our specialty. Biologic therapies, in their infancy when our second edition was published, have now been used to treat tens of thousands of psoriasis patients and have been tried off-label in numerous skin diseases. New devices and new drugs are introduced on a regular basis.
The third edition of Treatment of Skin Disease contains updates and new references in all chapters, and new figures in nearly all chapters. Based on feedback from dermatologists, we have added chapters on atypical nevi, autoimmune progesterone dermatitis, Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate, mucoceles, notalgia paresthetica, papular urticaria, pyogenic granulomas, and Well's syndrome. We encourage our colleagues to continue to suggest improvements, changes, or additional chapters for future editions. We have also added a chapter on a newly described disease entity, nephrogenic systemic fibrosis. And with the emergence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus as a leading cause of skin and soft tissue infections, we have added a separate chapter on this important infectious disease. Finally, in response to comments about our previous editions, we have separated the previous chapter on herpes simplex virus into two separate chapters on herpes genitalis and herpes labialis.
We have retained successful features of our previous editions, namely our evidence-based rating scales and our separation of treatments into first-line, second-line, and third-line therapies. New technology has allowed us to change our electronic version of Treatment of Skin Disease from a PDA to a completely web-accessible textbook.
In our third edition, we continue to emphasize the importance of double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, but also continue to stress the value of case reports and series, particularly in rare disorders for which large trials are not practical.
As we go to press with our third edition, it is our hope that medical progress will continue at such a fast pace that we will soon need a fourth edition. Even as this edition goes to print, reports of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy are emerging in patients treated with efalizumab leading to the withdrawal of this biologic agent, and new biologics such as ustekinumab are poised for approval. Our goal, as in previous editions, is to help our colleagues manage their patients in the safest and most effective ways possible.
