Emergencies in Dermatology is a concise, clinically focused guide to recognizing and managing acute potentially life-threatening skin disorders across all age groups. Organized into practical chapters on severe cutaneous adverse reactions, acute infectious and inflammatory dermatoses with systemic impact, vascular and purpuric emergencies, blistering and autoimmune diseases, urticaria and angioedema, and oncodermatology, it equips clinicians to move from morphology to diagnosis and decisive action at the bedside. Each chapter highlights key red flags, differential diagnoses, investigations, and stepwise management, with a clear emphasis on when to escalate care, refer, or involve intensive care services.
Written by an experienced multidisciplinary team of dermatologists and physicians, and guided by expert editors, this book effectively bridges the gap between conventional dermatology and acute care medicine. It will be invaluable for dermatologists, emergency physicians, internists, pediatricians,
intensivists, postgraduate residents, and nurses who encounter skin signs in urgent settings and need rapid, reliable guidance. Whether in a busy casualty ward or intensive care unit, this book serves as a practical companion to improve confidence, coordination, and outcomes in the care of patients with dermatologic emergencies.
