N2 - Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition characterized by a polymorphous eruption, mainly affecting the face, neck, chest and back, especially in young adults. Therapy depends on severity. While mild cases are managed with topical products, moderate-to-severe cases may require systemic treatments such as antibiotics, isotretinoin, or hormonal contraceptives. Acne can cause scarring, and some types benefit from specialized dermatological treatment. Moderate acne unresponsive to treatment and severe cases should be referred to a dermatologist to prevent scarring and psychological sequelae.
