title: New developments in acne treatment.
abstract: Acne is a metabolic disorder of the pilosebaceous appendage in which microorganisms, hormones, inflammatory cells and fatty acids seem to contribute to the pathologic process. Through education and judicious use of therapeutic agents including benzoyl peroxide, vitamin A acid, topical and systemic antibiotics and 13 cis retinoic acid, most patients with acne can enjoy good control of their disease.
