Management of skin conditions in the older population 2.
This is the second of two papers covering assessment and management of elderly skin. Part 1 of this clinical review focused on the importance of a comprehensive assessment of the skin and a detailed clinical history of the patient (Bianchi and Cameron, 2008). This second paper considers some common dermatological conditions seen in the older adult and explores suitable management strategies.
