Hello #medtwitter & #dermtwitter, time for another #dermatology #tweetorial! Let’s go back to the basics and talk about:

#ACNE!

Hopefully this #meded/#foamed moment is helpful for all the #maskne in the #covid19 era!

Let’s start with a simple question:
What causes acne?

All of the above! Often, every one of these factors plays some role. What’s important is knowing what treatment to emphasize based on what factor seems to be the biggest influencer.

-Retinoids for cell turnover
-Ocps for hormones
-Antibiotics for bacteria!

I’m also looking at distribution (where on the body) and the severity.

It’s critical to ask if it’s a good, typical, or bad day!
