    Summary note
    "Inspired by his own battle with what he calls 'the Gary Kasparov of disease', psoriasis, the author helps us to understand the skin we're in and why we're all so obsessed with it. From the waiting rooms of Harley Street to the naked-sunbathing terraces of the Dead Sea, he navigates a multitude of cures for the incurable.' - - Provided by publisher.
