Dermatology is a field for which habitual Chinese medicine is rightly respected. Proficiency in this field, but, requires specialized knowledge that is neither taught at most schools in the West, nor readily accessible to English- speaking practitioners.
Manual of Dermatology in Chinese Medicine provides the practitioner with the in rank needed to properly handle skin diseases. Introductory chapters discuss the history of dermatology in habitual Chinese medicine, as well as aspects of diagnostics, differentiation and treatment that are peculiar to this field.
The remaining 17 chapters provide detailed discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of specific skin conditions, including those most commonly seen in the clinic. Skin diseases are organized by biomedical categories, which will enable practitioners to easily reference available color atlases of dermatology to aid in diagnosis.
The focus of this book is on treatment, especially herbal, but also acupuncture. Among its features is a comparision of the advantages and disadvantages of TCM and biomedical treatments for each of the conditions described.

Excellent book to have as an additional source of in rank for dermatology cases, which has both: Herbal and acupunture/moxibustion treatment suggestions. It was my first book in dermatology in Chinese Medicine and served it’s prupose, altough I still go back from time to time to compare with another, more pricey and way more thorough “Dermatology in TCM” by Xu Yihou. I place 4 stars because it is gone more detailed explanation, compare to the other one.

The book is divided up by western medicine diagnoses of skin diseases with herbal formulas and small commentary by TCM diagnosis. The dosages and individual herbs still need some adjustment for individual patients, but the formulas that are compiled are effective in my experience. I would urge purchasing an illustrated manual of dermatological diseases to accompany this book, as well as reading CDC/state guidelines on infectious/communicable diseases. Skin diseases that are contagious and trying to kill are often misdiagnosed.
