Khi tôi xem xét những cuốn sách hiện hành về mụn trứng cá được dành cho công chúng, tôi phát hiện ra rằng hầu hết trong số họ cung cấp hạn chế, và tại những thời điểm sai lệch thông tin,. | 2 Acne For Dummies 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 book 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. Conventions Used in This Book To help you find your way in this book I use the following conventions Web page addresses appear in monofont. Italics are used both for emphasis and to point out new words or terms that are defined. Bold highlights the keywords in bulleted lists or action parts of numbered steps. Sidebars which look like text enclosed in a shaded gray box consist of information that s interesting to know but not necessarily critical to your understanding of the chapter or section s topic. Foolish Assumptions Every author has to make some assumptions about his audience and I m not any different. So I assume that You or someone you know has acne or an acnelike condition. How s that for a wild guess You want to know more about how to treat acne on your own. _Introduction
