Herbert P. Goodheart, MD

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 after effects.

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.

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