The book also discusses daily skin care, over-the-counter acne preparations, when to see a dermatologist, the hazards and benefits of prescription acne medications, and the range of dermatological procedures available to erase aftereffects.

In addition, Acne For Dummies addresses rosacea and specific problems common to various ethnic groups and their appropriate treatments.

This is a concise, clearly written, and humorous work that provides the reader with an excellent understanding of the causes and available treatments for acne and rosacea.

Acne For Dummies dispels the myths that surround the reasons for acne and rosacea and helps the thoughtful consumer avoid the myriad of ineffective treatments that are widely available for these common skin problems.
