    TLDR Acne can be managed with various treatments and requires psychological support due to its emotional impact.
    The document from 2019 provides a comprehensive overview of acne vulgaris (AV), its pathophysiology, psychological impact, and various treatment options. It explains that acne is a multifactorial disease influenced by hormonal changes, diet, stress, and other lifestyle factors. The paper notes that while acne cannot be cured, it can be managed with treatments such as topical agents (benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics, retinoids), systemic therapies (oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, isotretinoin), and newer approaches like laser therapy and dietary modifications. It also discusses the psychological distress associated with acne and acne scars, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive treatment approach that includes psychological support. The document highlights the economic burden of acne, with costs exceeding $1 billion per year in the United States, and the global prevalence of the condition. It does not provide specific numbers of participants in the studies mentioned, which limits the ability to assess the strength of the findings.
