Acne Management – A Practical Update
Acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions encountered in clinical practice, affecting adolescents and adults alike. While often perceived as a cosmetic concern, acne can significantly impact psychological well-being and quality of life. This course provides a practical, evidence-based update on acne management for healthcare professionals. 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. The course focuses on current treatment strategies, ranging from topical therapies to systemic medications, with an emphasis on individualized care. It also addresses emerging therapies and updated guidelines. By the end of this course, learners will be able to effectively diagnose, classify, and manage acne using a patient-centered, stepwise approach.
