Acne Management – A Practical Update
Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions encountered in clinical practice, affecting adolescents and adults alike.

Participants will explore the pathophysiology of acne, including the roles of sebum production, follicular hyperkeratinization, bacterial colonization, and inflammation. Understanding these mechanisms is key to selecting appropriate treatments.
