Acne (ePub)

Learn to accurately diagnose, prevent and treat all three
acnes using both traditional and novel approaches to understanding

Acne vulgaris is an extremely common condition. It is
troublesome to manage, often persisting into middle age.

ignored for decades. Acnes rosacea and inversa (hidradenitis
suppurativa) are discussed from entirely new viewpoints.
