Features: Since its first publication, this manual has been favored by a broad readership for its simplicity and practicality. The second edition highlights the latest advancements in dermatological diagnosis and treatment over the past five years. A key addition is the expanded coverage of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Due to the rising incidence of STDs in China in recent years, raising awareness among healthcare professionals, particularly dermatologists and STD prevention workers, is a crucial step in effective disease control. This edition provides detailed introductions to eight major STDs targeted for prevention and surveillance in China, including syphilis, gonorrhea, non-gonococcal urethritis, genital warts, genital herpes, and AIDS, as well as descriptions of other clinical conditions related to sexually transmitted diseases. The chapter on the diagnosis and treatment of common STDs has been expanded from four chapters in the previous edition to seventeen chapters in this one. Additionally, Dr. Fan Shangrong from the department of obstetrics and gynecology was invited to contribute to the writing. Furthermore, this edition includes a new appendix listing basic dermatological medications and the national over-the-counter drug directory. In summary, this edition is richer in content than the previous one and is expected to serve as a valuable tool for dermatologists and STD specialists in their daily practice.
