Abstract
Acne should not be perceived as a self-limiting affliction of adolescence. Due to the growing problem of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria, restrictive use of peroral and topical antibiotics is recommended. There are a number of effective agents for topical treatment of mild to moderate acne. In cases of severe, therapy-resistant acne, treatment with peroral isotretinoin is recommended.
