“…[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Recently, 18 of these grading scales were ranked based on a variety of characteristics. 25 To date, there is no universally agreed-upon grading system, and systems can differ greatly between studies. In addition, interobserver reliability of these scales varies, but has been poor in some studies.…”

Acne is one of the most common disorders treated by dermatologists and other health care providers. While it most often affects adolescents, it is not uncommon in adults and can also be seen in children. This evidence-based guideline addresses important clinical questions that arise in its management. Issues from grading of acne to the topical and systemic management of the disease are reviewed. Suggestions on use are provided based on available evidence.

“…However, recently the chief components and features of an ideal acne scale have been identified; essential clinical components include primary lesion evaluation, their quantity, extent and sites of involvement, and features including ease of use, clinimetric properties, categorization of severity and acceptance by users . While none of the current scales fulfils all desired criteria, there is a core group that may provide a foundation to develop a widely accepted, credible standard assessment scale …”

A global perspective on the epidemiology of acne

SummaryAcne is estimated to affect 9Á4% of the global population, making it the eighth most prevalent disease worldwide. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated that acne is most common in postpubescent teens, with boys most frequently affected, particularly with more severe forms of the disease. This paper aims to provide an update on the epidemiology of acne worldwide. Recent general and institutional studies from around the world have shown that the prevalence of acne is broadly consistent globally (with the exception of specific populations, which are discussed). However, this review highlights that there is a wide range of disparate outcome measures being applied in epidemiology studies, and we emphasize the need to develop a widely accepted, credible, standard assessment scale to address this in the future. In addition we discuss special populations, such as those devoid of acne, as well as the impact of potential determinants of acne on disease epidemiology.Acne vulgaris, or acne, is a common condition with a wide range of potential harms and associated costs. The former include symptomatic discomfort, scarring, emotional and psychosocial distress, occupational consequences and potential psychiatric disturbances including depression and suicide. Identification of individuals at risk of these sequelae can contribute to reducing the morbidity associated with acne.The Global Burden of Disease Project estimates the prevalence of acne at 9Á4%, ranking it as the eighth most prevalent disease worldwide. 1,2This initiative established prevalence and disability data from primary research manuscripts and databases, and conducted subsequent data analysis with a Bayesian meta-regression methodology, providing a means to harmonize discordant data and to account for a lack of data in geographical, temporal or other demographic items.2 While this project uses primary research findings to inform global metrics, there has not been a recent attempt to collate and present the world literature on acne prevalence collected over the past decade and a half. The last such review of acne prevalence in both general and schoolaged populations comprised literature up to 1995.

“…Acne grading systems should take into account the type and severity of the acne, number of lesions, anatomic location and the extent of the acne, patient quality of life and other psychosocial metrics, and scarring ( Zaenglein et al, 2016 ). Tan et al (2013) evaluated 18 global acne grading scales with grading methods that ranged from text descriptions, grades for number and type of lesions, grades for severity, grades for comedonal versus inflammatory acne to the use of standardizing photographs.…”

This review focuses on the treatment options for adult female patients with acne. Acne in adult female patients may start during adolescence and persist or have an onset in adulthood. Acne has various psychosocial effects that impact patients’ quality of life. Treatment of acne in adult women specifically has its challenges due to the considerations of patient preferences, pregnancy, and lactation. Treatments vary widely and treatment should be tailored specifically for each individual woman. We review conventional therapies with high levels of evidence, additional treatments with support from cohort studies and case reports, complementary and/or alternative therapies, and new agents under development for the treatment of patients with acne.
