Product Description:
Acne is the most common skin disease in the United States, affecting
more than 60 million adults and teenagers each year. Acne For Dummies
addresses the causes of acne, and, most importantly, what can safely be
done to cover it up, treat it, and minimize scarring. The book covers
everything from daily skin care, over-the-counter acne preparations,
and when to see a dermatologist to the hazards and benefits of
prescription acne medications and the range of dermatological
procedures available to erase aftereffects. Also covered are specific
issues common to acne as seen in various ethnic groups and other skin
problems, such as rosacea, a condition that people often mistake for
acne.
