title: [Acne today. What's new?].
abstract: WELL-CONDUCTED TREATMENT: Acne is a common condition in adolescents and requires careful management both in terms of therapeutic care and psychological support. Treatment is long and requires strict compliance. A well-conducted treatment can be expected to provide major improvement in most patients. LOCAL CARE: Local care is often sufficient for retentional or discretely inflammatory acne. A retinoid and/or a benzoyl peroxide can be associated with a local antibiotic. SEVERE FORMS: An oral antibiotic regimen for at least 3 months is proposed in association with the local treatment (retinoid, benzoyl peroxide, local antibiotic) in case of severe acne. ISOTRETINOIN: In case of unsuccessful treatment for nodular or conglobata acne, isotretinoin can be proposed in an oral preparation. This highly teratogenic drug must not be prescribed for women of reproductive age unless a well proven contraception has been instituted for more than 1 month and maintained for the entire duration of the treatment and 1 month after discontinuation. The patient must be informed of the risk in case of pregnancy and consent to regular monitoring of beta hCG less than 3 days before treatment onset, every 2 months during treatment and 5 weeks after treatment withdrawal).
