About

Acne Treatment Spot is intended as a reference for people who have teenage acne, adult acne, and other acnelike conditions such as rosacea and razor bumps.

When I reviewed the existing books on acne that are intended for the general public, I discovered that most of them offer limited, and at times misleading, information. Many adopt a self-serving manner selling products or trying to prove that their point of view is the acne “cure.”

Although some of these books describe well-accepted therapies, others promise results that can’t be realistically delivered, and are based solely upon the authors’ opinions without any credible research to back up their claims. Furthermore, these publications often fail to address African-Americans and other minority groups; they’re targeted to a white, mostly adult-female, audience.

This acne blog spot is intended to have a wide appeal to readers of all ages: teens and their parents, women and men of all ages, persons of color and of various ethnic backgrounds. I also want it to serve as a source of information for pediatricians, primary care providers, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, school nurses, school librarians, healthcare providers in the military, and anyone else who cares for people with acne and related disorders.
