While it's a fact that many more women than men are affected by acne, it doesn't reduce the severity of this condition for us men. Acne, in its many forms – pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts – has troubled me since my teenage, continuing into adulthood. I've been looking for a book that addresses this particular skin condition, with a degree of authenticity and detail, while being a quick and easy read. So, I was lucky to discover this book as it's perfectly in tune with my requirements.This book tackles a niche subject, and does it well – what's an acne, what are its manifestations, how are they caused ? The writer, Michael Faye, discusses this in detail. Then what about the treatments ? He discusses over-the-counter drugs, antibiotics and various surgical procedures for acne removal.But preparation is always better than cure, so easy ways to stop acne from happening are described – something as simple as washing your face twice a day, not applying too much make-up (for women) and not exposing yourself too much to sunlight.Simple home remedies are given. I didn't know for instance that honey had such great qualities for acne cure. A list of what to eat (more fish) and what not to (no sugary foods, please) is given.Bottom line : If you are affected by acne, like I am, this book is well worth a buy.
