Abstract
Though acne is not generally cured, treatment can reduce the severity and frequency of outbreaks, lessen discomfort from inflamed lesions, i mprove appearance, and prevent or minimize scarring, thereby averting or ameliorating potentially serious adverse psychosocial effects. A nu mber of new agents are available; combination therapies that achieve s ynergism are described.
