Dermatology book

Hi! Any recommendations on dermatology resources (i.e. books, websites, PDA programs, etc)? I'm looking for something as a reference. Thank you!

This is what we used:

http://www.amazon.com/Fitzpatricks-Color-Synopsis-Clinical-Dermatology/dp/0071440194/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-0576168-1254566?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184201484&sr=8-1

I still use it 7 years later. Fortunately Derm doesn't change much. This one is a little better but double the price:

http://www.amazon.com/Clinical-Dermatology-Color-Diagnosis-Therapy/dp/0323013198/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-0576168-1254566?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184201484&sr=8-2

Finally this one is a good resource on the wards:

http://www.amazon.com/Derm-notes-Dermatology-Clinical-Pocket/dp/0803614950/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3/102-0576168-1254566?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184201484&sr=8-3

I used the first one in class and the third one when doing FP. Depends on how happy with your derm skills. I was pretty confident, if I could identify the picture, I knew what to do. Others may have different learning styles.

I have "Sauer's Manual of Skin Diseases" and Black and McKay's "Obstetric and Gynecological Dermatology."

this is what we used during school and we all thought it was excellent. Good, reference too.

I'm a picture person and the book I found the best was "Skin Diseases Diagnosis and Treatment by Thomas P. Habif - 2005 - Elsevier Mosby ISBN 10-0-323-02753-9. The pictures look very much like the actual diseases - the lab, dx, prognosis section is short and too the point.
