Acne vulgaris. Current concepts of pathogenesis and treatment
S. Hurwitz
Although the basic cause of acne vulgaris remains unknown, considerable
data that concern its pathogenesis and that have been accumulated in recent
years allow a rational and therapeutically successful approach to the
management of this disorder. To date, there is no single treatment for
acne. Therapy must be individualized, with appropriate variations and
modifications as the degree or severity of this disorder fluctuates. Today,
this goal can be achieved by proper selection of available medications,
coupled with the cooperation of the patient, and the knowledge, continued
interest, and enthusiasm of the physician and his staff.
