This is a richly illustrated account of the clinical features and microscopic anatomy of acne, acne-like disorders, and rosacea. Since its last edition the text has been completely revised. All aspects of these diseases are covered succinctly in the text: physiology, pathology, bacteriology, and endocrinology. Special emphasis is placed on the histopathology of these disorders. The text is supplemented by selected references, and a richly illustrated portfolio of gross and histopathological pictures. There are many new chapters including one on the history of acne and rosacea. The book is designed for those physicians - dermatologists, general practitioners, pediatricians, gynecologists, pharmacologists and surgeons - who must identify and treat the many different forms of these diseases. The spectrum of pharmacological and physical methods of controlling acne, acne-like diseases, and rosacea are critically examined. The authors present in detail their personal strategies for successfully treating these distressing diseases.

Acne is the most common chronic skin condition of adolescents, affecting up to 95% of boys and 85% of teenage girls. It tends to begin at puberty, and while for most people it tends to go away by the time they reach their mid-20s, some people may continue to have the disorder until they reach their 40s or 50s.

Acne is the most common chronic skin condition of adolescents. It tends to begin at puberty and affects almost all teenagers to some extent. For most people, it tends to disappear by the time they reach their mid-20s, but some people may continue to have acne into their 40s and 50s. Although extremely common, this condition can be very distressing and unpleasant. The authors have great experience of managing acne in their patients and this book offers a mass of practical advice and information about dealing with the problem. It also casts light on the many myths and misconceptions about the potential causes and cures. This book answers hundreds of real questions, providing: Positive, practical advice on every aspect of living with acne - how to cure it, how to hide it, and how to deal with hard-to-manage episodes Medically accurate and easy to understand answers to real questions from people with acne and their families Information on the causes of acne and advice on the best ways to treat acne and care for your skin Answers to all the questions you may feel embarrassed to ask your doctor Details of organisations, helplines and websites for advice, products and help-groups Questions from the book include: I've started getting acne spots. How long do they last? What is the difference between a whitehead and a yellowhead spot? What causes acne? My forehead is all spotty but I don't have acne anywhere else. Why is this? I am 29 and have just started to get spots. Is this the same as teenage acne? What should I tell my doctor? What are the different types of treatment available? How long will it be before I can expect to notice an improvement? Is it true that dabbing toothpaste on a spot can help clear it up? The doctor has prescribed Dianette for my acne, but I am only 15 and my mum will go mental if she thinks I'm on the pill. I don't even have a boyfriend so why am I on a contraceptive? Are there any spots that I can squeeze? I read in a women's magazine that isotretinoin (Roaccutane) can cure acne - is it really that good? My friend had some very cold spray treatment to her raised scars. What was this? What is the best way of covering my acne scars? I'd quite like to see a homeopath for my acne. Is it very expensive? Do I have to stop all my acne treatment if I get pregnant? I want to use a facial wash. Which is the best one? Why is something called non-comedogenic? What exactly does this mean? Can I still use sunscreen even though I have acne? What is the best skin-care routine? My doctor has suggested that I see a psychologist. What use will that be? I want my skin to be better, not to talk about it. I think I am going to have to start paying for my prescription. Is there any way I can reduce the cost?

This concise, easy-to-read book summarizes the current clinical evidence and basic science relating to aging and the skin, assisting the clinician in addressing skin problems in older dermatologic patients. Each chapter focuses on a particular area in which new knowledge has rapidly emerged over the past 5 years, ensuring that the book is completely up-to-date. Recent insights into aging skin from basic and translational science are first discussed, covering the underlying genetics and the potential role of topical agents and procedures in reversing the aging process. Evidence-based prescribing in older patients is then explained, and the evidence relating to treatments for psoriasis, reviewed. Further chapters in Geriatric Dermatology address non-surgical treatment options for basal cell carcinoma, the increase in and management of sexually transmitted diseases in older dermatology patients, and cutaneous signs of elder mistreatment. Case vignettes and informative illustrations assist the reader in quickly grasping the connection between an age-related process and its clinical impact. Geriatric Dermatology is written for dermatologists, research scientists with translational interest, geriatricians, and gerontologists.
