Acne and Rosacea: Epidemiology, Diagnosis and Treatment

Acne and rosacea are two incredibly common skin problems that have both a medical and cosmetic impact on the daily lives of millions of people. Much has been written in books and journal articles about the medical treatment of acne and rosacea. Similarly, much has been written in books and journal articles about the cosmetic treatment of acne and rosacea. This book is unique in that it presents an objective look at both the medical and cosmetic treatments of these two skin disorders.
The first four chapters deal with acne and acne scars and the medical and laser/light treatments used to treat
patients with these problems. The next three chapters take the same approach to rosacea. Finally, the last chapter discusses the treatment of sebaceous hyperplasia.
We greatly appreciate the information provided by Professor Anthony Chu of Hammersmith Hospital, London,
UK, on the availability of various therapeutic agents outside of the US.
