Coping Successfully with Acne
by Sally Lewis
Acne is on the rise, especially adult acne. Traditionally thought of as a teenage problem, it actually affects children from as young as eight through to adults in their 20s, 30s, 40s and even beyond. It is so common that approximately 80 in 100 people will suffer from its effects at some time and 85 per cent of teenagers will be affected. At least 60 percent of people affected by this inflammatory skin disease will seek treatment, from a variety of sources. This book gives an insight in to the causes of acne, the problems associated with the disease and the types of treatment available, both conventional and complementary.
‘Acne is a disease that is grossly underrated by society and to an extent by the medical profession. It can, however, have a profound impact on quality of life, and demands rapid and effective treatment. We are in an age that is unparalleled for the treatment of acne, so no one should suffer the often devastating problems that it brings.’
Tony Chu, Professor of Dermatology, Buckingham University, and Consultant Dermatologist at Hammersmith Hospital
