Overview of treatment of acne

MUDr.Yvetta Vantuchová, Ph.D.: Kožní oddělení FN Ostrava

Acne is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects up to 90 % of young people at puberty. It takes many various forms, ranging from

minimal manifestations to severe extensive involvement of the facial and truncal skin. More pronounced inflammatory manifestations

occur in approximately 15 % of affected individuals. Acne usually subsides by 25 years of age, but in a small proportion of cases it may

persist until adulthood. In the acute phase, effective local and, in some cases, even systemic treatment is required.
