Dermatology DDX Deck 2nd Edition

I love the Habif textbook but it's way too big to carry for rotations. This is perfect! Highly recommend for anyone with derm patients. The pictures are clear with lots of information about HPI, differentials, and common treatments on the back of each card. My only issue is that the cards are a little flimsy and look like they could bend easily--I kept the box and use that to carry them in. Also, don't expect to be able to carry these in your lab coat pocket--they're about 2-3 inches too long (and too heavy).

This is a great and easy to use reference and is perfect for primary care settings. The front of each card has images and the name of the derm condition and the back has details about the condition, std. treatments, etc. as well as diff dx considerations. This can easily be taken with you to clinical sites if you're in your residency or on clinical rotations, as well as different sites if you work in various locations. I wish I would have had this during my FNP program & clinical rotations, it would have really simplified all things derm.

Amazing! Like paint swatches for dermatology disorders with very nice notes on back describing the morphology and other key points related to the findings that would clue you to this diagnosis and well at prescribing information. I took this to my clinical's for my preceptorship rotation and could line my finding up perfectly. These are really great if dermatology is not your strength and your trying to build on it. And you don't want to lug around a giant derm book. I HIGHLY recommend these!

Always in my lab coat as a quick reference. The pictures make it so much easier to identify skin issues as well as recommended treatments and patient education. If you are NOT a dermatologist or a skin expert, this tool is a life saver. It is especially useful in urgent care, pediatric settings, women's health, and fast-tracks in the emergency department.

These are a must have for diagnosing in an Urgent Care setting. All of my coworkers have since gotten them because rashes are the worst! Well organized with great descriptions.

This is so handy for seeing those questionable derm patients. The pictures are bright and colorful and help a lot when you may not be sure exactly what it is or say what type of psoriasis it could be. Very useful, especially for a student in practicums.

I use this on a daily basis whenever some skin issue comes in- but I found there are plenty of things it doesn't cover. I have purchased Fitzpatrick's book to see if it fills in the gaps. This DDX deck is held together by a screw at the end- I have to tighten the screw every few days or it gets dangerously loose. There are some treatment recommendations on the backside, but they are often incomplete and I have to look up additional information elsewhere. Overall, I am happy with the purchase, but don't expect it to be your only Dermatology reference.
