Practical management of acne for clinicians: An international consensus from the Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne

Diane M Thiboutot et al. J Am Acad Dermatol. 2018 Feb.

Abstract

Scientific advances are continually improving the knowledge of acne and contributing to the refinement of treatment options; it is important for clinicians to regularly update their practice patterns to reflect current standards. The Global Alliance to Improve Outcomes in Acne is an international group of dermatologists with an interest in acne research and education that has been meeting regularly since 2001. As a group, we have continuously evaluated the literature on acne. This supplement focuses on providing relevant clinical guidance to health care practitioners managing patients with acne, with an emphasis on areas where the evidence base may be sparse or need interpretation for daily practice.

Keywords: acne vulgaris; adult acne; post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation; scar.
