Fisher’s Contact Dermatitis, 6th Edition

Fisher’s Contact Dermatitis, 6th Edition by Robert L. Rietschel and Joseph F. Fowler remains the definitive reference for dermatologists managing contact dermatitis. Since its first edition in 1967, this text has served as an encyclopedic guide to the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of allergic and irritant reactions of the skin. The sixth edition introduces full-color images and an atlas section for the first time, enhancing visual recognition of dermatologic presentations. Updated and expanded, it covers the latest allergens, including metals, plastics, preservatives, and cosmetic ingredients, providing clinicians with comprehensive, practical guidance in identifying and treating contact dermatitis.
