Overcoming acne

Description

It's a teen rite of passage-but acne and its scars can continue into adulthood, sometimes leading to serious physical and emotional problems. This program looks at the causes and effects of the unpleasant and frequently distressing skin condition, possible remedies for it, and the specific problem of adult-onset acne. Common misconceptions-linking poor hygiene or chocolate consumption with acne outbreaks, for example-are debunked. Stressing the benefits of medically assisted skin care, renowned dermatologists Dr. Madhavi Kandula and Dr. Lawrence Eichenfield review acne treatment strategies, including over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs.
