TLDR Isotretinoin effectively treats acne, often providing lasting relief.
The chapter examined three types of acne: acne vulgaris, acne rosacea, and acne inversa, highlighting their distinct characteristics such as location, timing, environmental impact, therapy response, lesion type, and triggers. Acne was described as occurring when a plug forms in the pilosebaceous units, leading to inflammation when keratin is detected by the immune system. Isotretinoin was noted as a highly effective treatment, often providing permanent relief and allowing patients to move past their acne issues.
