occupational skin disease contact dermatitis itching hair and scalp diseases

TLDR The document suggests "Occupational Skin Disease" is a useful standard text, finds "The Clinical Management of Itching" poorly organized, recommends "Atlas of Contact Dermatitis" for its illustrations, and values "Handbook of Diseases of the Hair and Scalp" for its information despite flaws.

The document reviews several dermatology-related books. The third edition of "Occupational Skin Disease" by Robert M. Adams is highlighted as a standard textbook in its field, providing a comprehensive update with broad coverage of occupational dermatology, including a well-referenced appendix for 95 occupational categories. Despite some outdated chapters and indexing issues, it is recommended for those in occupational medicine and dermatologists. "The Clinical Management of Itching" by Alan B. Fleischer is critiqued for its point form layout and extensive references, which lack a logical approach, making it less suitable as a study text or regular reference in clinical practice. "Atlas of Contact Dermatitis" by Robert Rietschel et al. is praised for its detailed illustrations and usefulness as a pictorial supplement to textbooks on contact dermatitis, recommended for dermatologists and trainees. "Handbook of Diseases of the Hair and Scalp" by Rodney Sinclair et al. is recommended for its informative content and visual aids, despite some organizational shortcomings and redundancy with its parent text. A corrigendum is also included for a previous article's author affiliation.
