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.
