AB Physicians  of  all  specialties  face  the  regular  task  of  determining  the  nature  and  clinical  implications  of  dermatologic  disease.  In  evaluating  patients  with  skin  disease,  the  physician  must  confront  the  question  of  whether  the  cutaneous  process  is  confined  to  the  skin,  or  whether  it  is  a  manifestation  of  internal  disease.  Evaluation  and  accurate  diagnosis  of  skin  lesions  are  particularly  critical  given  the  marked  rise  in  both  melanoma  and  nonmelanoma  skin  cancer.  Dermatologic  conditions  can  be  classified  and  categorized  in  many  ways.  In  this  atlas,  a  selected  group  of  inflammatory  skin  eruptions  and  neoplastic  conditions  are  grouped  in  the  following  manner:  (1)  common  skin  diseases  and  lesions,  (2)  nonmelanoma  skin  cancer,  (3)  melanoma  and  benign  pigmented  lesions,  (4)  infectious  disease  and  the  skin,  (5)  immunologically  mediated  skin  disease,  and  (6)  skin  manifestations  of  internal  disease.
