ABSTRACT
Acne vulgaris may be non-inflammatory (comedogenic) and inflammatory,
with the latter including severe forms. Since acne
has deep consequences in self-esteem, it is necessary to treat
rapidly and precisely to order to prevent or minimize residual
scars. While the advent of isotretinoin has revolutionized acne
treatment, this drug should be used with caution especially in
cases of severe inflammation.
