ABSTRACT
Dermatology is an interesting field on many levels. For the new initiate,
the diversity of diagnoses is a formidable challenge. The array of treatments
we use adds another level of complexity to skin disease management. Yet within a few years, the skilled dermatologist becomes adept at making
the right diagnosis and choosing the right treatment within milliseconds
of seeing the rash. Making diagnoses and choosing treatments can become
routine and, perhaps, boring. Fortunately, real patients provide a bottomless
wealth of novelty and challenges.
