TLDR Educating people about acne is key because many still believe old myths, even though treatments exist for almost all types.
In the document from August 1, 1997, Dr. Landow addressed the common misconceptions surrounding acne, emphasizing the importance of patient education in managing the condition. Despite the prevalence of acne during adolescence and early adulthood, the document highlighted that advanced therapies were available to treat nearly all forms of acne, except the most stubborn cases. However, outdated stereotypes about the causes and treatments of acne continued to prevail, suggesting that dispelling these myths was a crucial aspect of effective acne management.
