Book description
Acne affects young adults the most, but roughly 30% of sufferers
continue to be affected in adulthood. One in 10 people in the UK are
also affected by a condition called rosacea (pronounced rose-ay-sha)
and the likelihood is that we all know someone who has it.
The typical symptoms of rosacea include: facial redness (most
commonly covering the nose and cheeks), spots, extreme sensitivity to
temperature changes, as well as broken veins, flushing and blushing.
It's a condition that can be treated and usually the sooner, the better.
Written by a leading expert, Acne and Rosacea: The Complete
Guide takes the reader through diagnosis, the symptoms and causes
and offers practical, sensitive advice on treatment options and the
very latest in skincare advice.
Alison Bowser is the ex-CEO of the Acne Support Group and is
currently working as an independent healthcare consultant solely
responsible for organising a series of patient rosacea education
events around the UK. She has recently qualified as a skin camouflage
practitioner and is a member of the British Association of Skin
Camouflage (BASC).
The Foreword is written by Dr Linda Papadopoulos, one of the
UK's top psycho-dermatologists and co-author of Understanding Skin
Problems: Acne, Eczema, Psoriasis and Related Conditions.
