Acne: Causes and Practical Management

Learn to accurately diagnose, prevent and treat all three acnes using both traditional and novel approaches to understanding the causes and selecting the most effective treatments. 

Acne vulgaris is an extremely common condition. It is troublesome to manage, often persisting into middle age.  Exact causes are becoming clear and include several hormonal stimulants, some triggered by the Western diet, and a pathogen ignored for decades.  Acnes rosacea and inversa (hidradenitis suppurativa) are discussed from entirely new viewpoints.
