You look in the mirror while you're washing
yourface. Oh, no. What's that on your
. . .
face? It's bigandawfd. It's apimple!
Does this scene sound familiar? Ifso,
you are not alone. Between seventy-
five and ninety percent of all young
people are afflicted with acne at some
time during adolescence. Although the
reasons that they get acne are still partly
a mystery and, as with the common
cold, there is no cure, enough is now
known about acne so that almost every
case is treatable.
Overcoming Acne presents the most
up-to-date facts on this common
adolescent condition and the latest
breakthroughs, innovations, and
research findings. It explores the pros
and cons of various over-the-counter
medications, the options available in
professional treatments, and the most
recent advances in cosmetic surgery. It
also offers an effective regimen ofpre-
ventive skin careandself-help, at-home
treatment.
With this essential handbook, you
will be better able to understand, com-
