Managing acne in the Middle East: consensus recommendations.

Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology : JEADV·2017

Topical acne treatments target key disease factors like inflammation and bacteria. Combining therapies can boost effectiveness and reduce side effects, though antibiotic resistance is a growing concern.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Acne vulgaris is a common skin condition often managed with topical treatments.
  • Topical agents are crucial for managing acne, either alone or with systemic therapies.
  • Current treatments address hyperkeratosis, microbial colonization, inflammation, and immune response in acne pathogenesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the role and efficacy of established topical acne treatments.
  • To discuss the potential of new topical agents, such as antiandrogenic compounds.
  • To highlight the benefits and challenges of combination topical therapy for acne.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on topical acne treatments.
  • Analysis of the pathogenetic factors of acne vulgaris.
  • Discussion of current and emerging therapeutic agents.

Main Results:

  • Established topical agents include retinoids, azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and topical antibiotics.
  • Combination therapy can enhance potency and reduce toxicity of topical agents.
  • Emerging topical antiandrogenic agents may address seborrhea.

Conclusions:

  • Topical treatments are a cornerstone of acne management, targeting multiple disease pathways.
  • Combination topical therapy offers improved efficacy and safety profiles.
  • The emergence of bacterial resistance to topical antibiotics necessitates careful treatment strategies.
