This book is a richly illustrated account of the clinical features, microscopic anatomy, and management of acne, acne-like disorders, and rosacea. The coverage includes all aspects of these diseases, from physiology to pathology, bacteriology, and endocrinology; special emphasis is placed on histopathology. Moreover, the full spectrum of pharmacological and physical methods of controlling the disorders are critically examined and the widely experienced team of authors present in detail their personal strategies for successful treatment.
Since it was first published, Acne and Rosacea has become a well-known classic. This fourth edition has been completely revised and updated, with entirely new chapters on topics such as etiopathogenesis, auto-inflammatory acne syndromes, the role of nutrition, and novel therapies. The text is supplemented by selected references and a wealth of clinical and histopathological pictures, including additional high-definition photographs. The book is designed for all those physicians – dermatologists, general practitioners, pediatricians, gynecologists, pharmacologists, and surgeons – who must identify and treat the many different forms of acne and rosacea.

“The book covers all aspects of both syndromes in 18 chapters, from epidemiology and genetics to pathophysiology, micro- and macromorphology, updated therapy, and fascinating historical aspects. On over 650 pages, all available knowledge on these diseases is thoroughly presented. Due to its didactic concept, the book is a handy reference and will be an invaluable tool for the medical student, the doctor in training, the specialist or expert - everyone will find it worthwhile and clearly documented. Acneiform diseases and acne-associated syndromes are of great value for the daily differential diagnosis of the dermatologist. The special value of this work lays in its great juxtaposition of first rate clinical photography, histological (and electron microscopic) illustrations, and the highly instructive drawings and diagrams. Full-page illustrations of unsurpassed quality contribute to the didactic character of the book, and possess own artistic value. It is simply a pleasure to browse through the book.” (Prof. Dr. med. Dr. h.c. mult. Thomas Ruzicka Department of Dermatology and Allergology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich, Germany)
