Problems of quality of dermatological care for acne in adolescents

Abstract

Relevance. The quality of dermatological care in the treatment of acne in adolescents is under-researched. Therefore, it is relevant to analyze the problems that negatively affect the quality of care for adolescents suffering from acne.Target. To identify problems in the quality of dermatological care in relation to the treatment of acne in adolescents.Materials and methods. 20 literature sources over the past 6 years have been found. Standard methods of literature analysis (induction, synthesis and comparison of the presented information) were used.Results. The following have not been sufficiently studied: the psychological aspect of the influence of acne and its treatment on the condition of a teenager; anti-relapse effect of retinoids depending on their dose and course duration; mechanisms of acne formation in adolescents. Information about the possibility of chronic disease and/or relapse of acne in adolescents is fragmentary. Maintenance therapy in adolescents to minimize the side effects of acne treatment has practically not been developed. Problems with compliance of adolescents undergoing treatment for acne are fragmentarily studied.Conclusions. Problems in the development of individualized acne treatment algorithms for adolescents have been identified. At the same time, adolescents are at risk of developing acne and require a special approach in the treatment of acne due to their unstable psyche and the importance of young citizens as a valuable asset of the state.
