title: Practical use of a disability index in the routine management of acne.
abstract: We describe a brief questionnaire designed to assess the disability caused by acne. The questionnaire adds a patient-orientated dimension to medical records, high-lights patients with unusually high levels of disability, and increases the relevant information on which we base therapeutic decisions.
